No it’s much more offensive nigger naval or nigger daisy .

We’ve had out and out daffodil wars around here. There’s two festivals The Daffodil festival and the Jonquil festival.  
Everyone knows they are same but the wars go on.

So if any one was mad about this Rudbeckia I’m sure it we’d hear about it.

(I’m sorta triggered about the name _Rudbeckia_)
