Echinacea Facinated by the intricacy of the design and colours of nature. #closeup #echinacea #coneflower

Gorgeous 😍😍😍

# Annettenoosa Stunning! Mine are only 8 months old. How often do they flowers?

@calpen11 First time I have grown this flower from a packet of 'good bug mix' seeds. Other seeds sprouted and flowered last year. This plant has taken a full year to grow and produce flowers. Supposed to be a perennial so I am hoping it will flower all Summer, take a Winter rest and then flower again next Summer. A learning curve for me regarding behaviour of this plant.

#annettenoosa Thanks for valuable info. Will post if they grow some flowers.

Echinacea. Today's garden surprise. Been watching these mystery plants that emerged in Spring (Sept). They must have come from the bee and bug seed mix planted over a year ago. The rest of the seeds germinated and flowered last year. Seems these wanted to wait a while. So pleased as they are a long lasting perennial and will gradually fill some space with colour. #echinacea #coneflowers-echinacea

Pretty contrast the pink and dark center 😍😍
Echinacea (Cone Flower). More flowers starting to pop up from the Good Bug Mix seeds. Looks like a grasshopper has eaten the petals of one, they are such a pest. They make a pretty cottage garden look. #echinacea
