Perdy Flowers II

Harvet Moon - Echinacea purpurea

Here is a nice picture of one of the new coneflowers that we purchased last year and boy doesn't it great!! Perhaps I'll submit this picture too in the company employee photo contest.

The coneflower's spiky central cone inspired the name "echinacea." It comes from the Greek echinos, which means hedgehog. The flowers are large and have large, dark cone-like centers, and the species usually have petals that droop or curve back. Echinacea produces showy, daisy-like flowers in mid-summer into the early fall.

JoAnne still hasn't finished painting the pool house yet but my ironing is done!
