Home Plant Saga~~Brown/Green Thumbs

Another growing season! After not having Black-eyed Susans for a few years, we were blessed to have a patch of wild ones grow next to the garage last summer!! A couple identical plants started by themselves in some pots on the deck. They were too small to bloom, so in the late fall, I planted them with great care in front of the house where there was a space between the azaleas. Their leaves stayed green all winter and they grew toward the sky~~~~
This spring another plant with the same leaves started growing in an empty deck flowerpot. Surprise!!~~~
A few days ago, I noticed small clusters of buds on the top of this potted plant. Black-eyed Susans don't do that! They have one flower on top of the stem and much later in the summer!
Today they started to bloom :>(   ~~~
 Close up~~~
It's a dreaded weed called fleabane!!!!!!

But weed or not - it is still very dainty and pretty ♥
