Cone Flower

This coneflower was loving life amid some gorgeous black-eyed Susans at the visitor's center just across the southern border of Vermont.

Nice shot, Sandy. My coneflowers have flatter cones. ;)

Jenn Jilks said...

Now, ignorant question. It looks more like Echinacia to me. I haven't a clue how to spell it... :-)

My cone flower is yellow.
And it is 6' tall. I cannot believe it!
Am I misinformed?!!!!

The cone head looks quite happy with itself getting a little space with the Susans.

That's a beautiful shot. I love the way the yellow from the suzies is a lovely splash of color behind the purple coneflowers.

I love your macro! And the petal is very interesting. It has a lighter shade of pink. What I normally see is the dark burgundy. I love it!

Superb clarity in your cone flower.

Isn't echinacea supposed to be good for treating cold symptoms or something? Seems like I've seen it in cough drops or some other remedy.

I wonder if that's the cure for the Summertime Blues?

Sandi McBride said...

I love Coneflowers...they are the clowns of the flower world...or so said my mother...I always took her at her word!

What a beautiful name black-eyed Susan for a coneflower!

I don't think I have heard that name here.

Sandy, do you mind passing this Award to you?
