Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia Hirta) In 1896, a group of women attending a meeting at the Maryland Agricultural College decided Maryland ought to have a state flower. They chose the black-eyed Susan, but it would be more than twenty years before it was adopted. Along the way, one Senate group tried to get the goldenrod adopted. But the black-eyed Susan’s fans persevered, and it was adopted on April 18, 1918.   The black-eyed Susan is among the most beloved of state flowers. Its popularity is due largely to the fact that it is black and gold(yellow). These were the colors that the first Lord Baltimore used in his coat of arms. These colors also appear in Maryland’s state flag and on its state bird, the Baltimore oriole.
