Echinacea is one of my favorite flowers. I have used it medicinally in the past, but mostly I like it as a flower in my garden. The flowers are big and beautiful and last a long time. They also attract bees and butterflies. I love to watch them buzzing/fluttering around these flowers on a lazy summer morning (being a teacher, I do get some lazy summer mornings–one of the perks)
That’s my flower for the letter:

And as always, thanks for stopping by.
I didn’t know these were so popular with the butterflies. I may have mistaken them for funny colored daisies in the past. Thanks for sharing your artwork and insights!

Hi Laura, they do look like daisies, at least the petals do, but the centers are usually cone shaped–they’re also called cone flowers. Thanks for your kind words.
