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)[reply]

"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? Help us out here.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.40.203.249 (talk) 08:58, 2 June 2010‎

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
