Some new photos
I recently uploaded some new photos of Rudbeckia hirta, below. I realise there are already many photos of this flower, but feel free to use if useful. Dcoetzee 19:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

"It is an upright annual (sometimes biennial or perennial)..."
If one is going to say "sometimes" something, an explanation should be given of when and/or under what conditions the "sometimes" happens. Is it for different varieties, different parts of the country, random chance?

 * It is a perennial in its native range.

To make this truly encyclopedic...
There is a lot of science here and that's fine. What isn't here is the edible parts. This is very dangerous! Warning people that some parts are inedible but not explaining is a dangerous practice. People will eat parts of it, believing it's probably okay. That's just the way it is. I'm a nurse, and am very familiar with this type of thing. It is better to either remove the remarks about it being edible at all, which I do not recommend since it is encyclopedic information, or simply list what parts are edible. If one isn't sure, then it really shouldn't be addressed at all in the article. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 19:37, 28 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Indeed the sources ive seen claim no part of the plant is edible, though also not toxic. 90.247.227.132 (talk) 15:20, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
