The purple coneflowers are starting to bloom also. I have taken Echinacea as an immune system booster when I was getting sick in the past so I researched online how to harvest and dry it yourself. It involves cutting both some of the roots and the flower heads to dry- but it says the plants should be atleast 3 years old and ours are only 2 so I guess it will have to wait.
Those look very pretty. I have some planted too but they are very small still. Hopefully they will take off this year.
ReplyDeletePurple coneflowers are one of my favorite flowers. They are just so pretty without being flashy.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look like the blades of electric fan!!... Most flowers has petals overlapping, but this is different, petals are distinct and separated...
