Sochan (Rudbeckia laciniata) and Spigelia marilandica

The Sochan (Rudbeckia laciniata) that we planted in one of the lower raised beds is flowering now. 

Used by the Cherokee as a potherb, it's been a favored native perennial in gardens (and one of those that went to Europe, and has come back as named cultivars). 

'Herbstsonne' (= fall sun) is a popular one, and there's apparently a double-flowered version called 'Hortensia.' 

Ours is robust in spite of being planted in a shallow bed.

And delightfully, one of the Spigelia marilandica (Indian pink) plants that we thought didn't overwinter has surprised us by late emergence and flowering, followed by a second late emerger.

Usually it flowers in June, although sporadic flowering later isn't unusual.
