A common wildflower that can be found through out much of North America is the black-eyed Susan. The black-eyed Susan is a relative of the sunflower and is a common and hardy flower. It is often found the first year that a new prairie is planted. One reason that it is so hardy is that the leaves have long, stout hairs that help to keep dust from clogging up the stomata, the pours through which the plants breathes.
Black-eyed Susan bloom all summer and even continue to bloom into the fall, June-October. I took these pics in
Crex Meadows on July 11

You do have a wealth of annual wildflowers in N.Ameria and this is another beauty.
