Two Coneflowers

Posted by Monte Stevens (Fort Collins, United States) on 18 March 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

Here is an Irish Blessing for you:
“May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.”

Even though we had cold and snow yesterday the feel of the coming spring is present. I posted this image of the coneflowers to remind myself, and you, of the approaching new season. The macro season is near!

Notes on coneflowers: Coneflowers are old fashioned prairie plants. Echinacea resemble daisies with swept-back petals. They are hardy, drought tolerant and long-blooming and are being cultivated in an ever widening range of colors
