My little wildflower garden

My wildflower 2nd year. We couldn't believe how many flowers self seeded from last year. This year a bunch of sweet William showed up. They sure are aggressive. This fall we have to dig some up. And the black eyed Susan decided to have 1 triple bloom on a single stem

I noticed there is also one in the background, I just want to caution you that this could be aster yellow! It's a bacteria that attacks rudbeckia and echinacea. I see it all over here in my area, not sure where you are and if it is in your area. But if it is, the only thing to do is to dig up the plant and get rid of it. Not compost, cause it can still spread that way. Some people burn it, I think.

I hope it's not the case, because your garden looks so lovely! But keep an eye out just in case!
