coneflower


 Echinacea (coneflower)  The name is derived from the Greek word echino meaning sea urchin, which the central petals resemble.
There are still a few blooms in my garden even though cool weather is beginning to come on strongly.

    Oh, wow! Beautiful photo. I know about echinacea and what it looks like, but I never knew it was also called coneflower and had never actually stopped to think about its name. Thanks!
