echinacea in bloom

started with one pack of seeds years ago ..i don't know who likes them better
me or the butterflies

enjoy the pink...lol...


looking up towards the gate and surrounding one walnut tree


and looking down the road past the barn and surrounding another walnut tree


i wish you could smell the delicate fragrance that fills the air
and when they go to seed the finches gather and feast almost all winter

beautiful........
are you harvesting the root for medicine ??

stunning echinacea, especially the one with the flutterby

ah zuni
that was the original intent..and why i planted certain herbs and shrubs and stuff..
but sadly no..i just grow em and share seeds

hippie..the one pic has four in it..hahahahahahahaha...it's so cool
they fly all over me as i snap

I only see 3...hee hee. We can play where's Wally with the flutterbys (I love that term WH).

i spotted all 4 butterflies.......and a possible 5th on the right near the grass......

that's my game every year..to see how many i can get in one shot...
the most i think was 8 last year...

how can you not be happy with flowers and critters
and my happy is sent as far and wide as i can get it...

thanks you guys...

I have a few, not like yours Sky. Do you do anything with them??? Wondering....

ah no Louise..like i said to Zuni..i intended to but i only just grow em and give seeds to other folk
