Susan Came to Maryland
by The Baltimore Sun
Susan came to Maryland,
not on the Ark or the Dove,
but a migrant from the Midwest
mixed in clover and hayseed.
Note: Today, on April 18, in 1918, Maryland selected the Black-Eyed Susan as the State Flower.
This was after much debate.
The Baltimore Sun, among many others, was not in favor of the Black-Eyed Susan selection, and they dismissively wrote the above quote.
As featured onThe Daily Gardener podcast:
Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
