Where did you get the seed? If it was a trade, its most likely a hybrid of a # of rudbeckia hirtas, without seeing a picture would be kind of hard to determine..

You can get a el cheapo digital these days next to nothing.. 30 or 40 bucks and it would be in better megapixel range then the 350 dollar camera I bought 10 years ago.. which only is a 4.0 megapixel.. though it has a optical zoom, which is nice, vs strictly digital.. but still its old , the cheaper newer ones will take decent enough pictures for your purpose. I wish I could buy a new SLR like the Nikon d5000.. but I don't have the cash.. or even if I did.. not sure my wife would let me spend my money on it! LOL we also need a new comp at some point as well...

do you recommend a brand?
I get confused with so many different kinds, and I know nothing about digital cameras.
But if one so cheap would work, I'd love to be able to share pics of my beauties with you'all.

thanks

Ellen , it almost really doesnt matter, go to your local target and walmart..

Ask about or look at the megapixel and what memory card it takes, you will want to make sure you can take enough pics, Mine holds about 300 at a time with 500 mbs, I have 3 500 mb cards. (standard sd cards are cheap now, I got two for 15 bucks a piece).

You should be able to find one in the 5.0-6.0 megapixel range for under or around 50 bucks.. The more expensive you go the more options you get.. but heck, sometimes thats just more time you dont have to play around with it!

Here is a link to a vivitar camera, there are some cheaper, but this will take clear crisp pictures for the most part..
