Coneflower or echinacea
Late summer flowers are much appreciated. I went to Swanson’s Nursery in Seattle (love that place) and had some photo fun with the flowers on stunning display. I wanted to show these pretty coneflowers (echinacea) before the fall gets too far along, even though they are from all of two weeks ago. In your garden, when the petals fall off, you might leave the seed head centers for the birds.
Joining up this week at Mellow Yellow Monday, Scenic Sunday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Ruby Tuesday 2, Outdoor Wednesday, Today’s Flowers, Floral Friday, Weekend Flowers, Pink Saturday, Macro Monday, and Shadow Shot Sunday 2. If there is only the coneflowers photo below, please click on Sara’s Fave Photos Blog above to show the rest of the blog. Thanks for visiting, and come back soon!
such a beautiful clear shot…
Wonderful flowers Sara and good advice that will help to feed our feathered friends. Thanks for another great photo!
Such gorgeous blooms. I’ve never grown any of these, but I always admire them.
Happy Pink Saturday, Sara. Thank you for sharing.

This great! Great bokeh and wonderful sharpnes!
Gorgeous coneflowers, they’re always a joy.
Beautiful capture of the echinacea, Sarah! Do you know if this is the same flower used for cold remedy?
Emille, I believe it is, but I know growers have made many lovely variations on the flowers, so perhaps not all echinaceas can be used for herbal remedies.
These are lovely!

Now those look pretty and quite perky!
