Love colour, nature, growing fresh herbs and vegies to eat; and flowers for my floral arrangements. Small garden in sub tropics of SE Queensland.

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

@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.

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
