Green-eyed Susans in the sun

Green-eyed Susans, Roger’s Pond Park, Kennebunk Maine.

There is a little clump of these flowers growing beside a tiny marshy pool at the edge of the Mousam River at Roger’s Pond Park in Kennebunk. They have the look of volunteers. I don’t think anyone planted them. Anyone human that is. They look like Black-eyed Susans, but the center is greenish yellow. I found Green-eyed Susans referenced on Google, but I think they might actually be Prairie Coneflowers…though why growing in Kennebunk Maine in wet ground is more than I can say. They certainly are beautiful in the bright August sun, especially against the dark background of the river behind.
