Freshly cut zinnias and cleome were a real hit with the residents at the assisted living community where I am a horticultural therapy intern. Conversely, the gorgeous rudbeckia were soundly rejected! I am not entirely in disagreement. Although I allow all of the rudbeckia volunteers to take over my garden; like the members of this group, I prefer a palette of pinks, purples, whites, and greens. Oddly, the black-eyed Susans were welcomed, but we ended up gifting most of the rudbeckia to a staff member who was quite pleased with the bouquet.
