Siamese Black-Eyed Susan
In going through some files the other night, I came across this one, actually forgetting I had it. Black-eyed Susans are known to have some "Fasciation", or mutation, such as cylinder shaped centers, but this one tops some of the oddities I have personally seen,
It appears the backs of these flowers were fused together, with both flowers growing out of one stem.

Nice shot of the flower and not somethnig that I had seen or even looked for before. It is amazing what we find in the world when we look beyond the surface a bit.
