Echinacea is popular where I live in New York, too. Our small sunny area is so taken up by daylilies and iris that we've never tried this flower. Too bad - they are pretty.
How lovely! I'm not a gardener, and I love flowers, but I can't stand touching the dirt and all the creepy, crawly stuff, but I appreciate those who love it! If I were rich, I'd have beautiful gardens that I could walk through while wearing a large straw hat, my fingers lightly brushing across petals as I stroll past them :)
They are in the daisy family. There are SO many kinds of daisies! Sunflowers and asters are too. I don't think of them, coneflowers, asters, sunflowers, as daisies! I leave that to things like African daisies, Shasta daisies and Margarites. They are though.
So pretty and the centers are a beautiful example of natures spiral symmetry. Love the color and shape of the petals. Have gotten behind in commenting...already...thanks for our visits. Sue at WhereBluebonnetsGrow
It’s pretty
ReplyDeletePow Wow Wild Berry is prettier than my others.
DeleteEchinacea grows really well in the Oklahoma climate. I love them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised, it's one of your native plants.

ReplyDeleteMaybe squeeze one in between them when they are all dormant? They will stick up above most daylilies.
DeleteI have these in my flower garden. The butterflies love them!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, with all the flowers, but I get few butterflies. So, for me, the bees love them!
DeleteIt looks like it'll be a pretty flower when it's grown.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice, and the plants long lived.

ReplyDeleteHa! I picture rich people gardens as those in English manor house photos. Too manicured and perfect. A messy cottage garden is fine!
DeleteSo pretty with vibrant colour. I'll have to try them again.

That one, Pow Wow Wild Berry is particularly bright.
Deleteso beautiful! Isn't it of the family of daisies? I tried to plant them (daisies) from seeds: never succeeded...

ReplyDeleteThere are fancy double petaled ones, which are missing those centers, and studies have shown they aren't very pollinator friendly.
