Echinacea is a plant that Don has started collecting. There are many new varieties that start blooming in July and bloom right through to frost. These are pictures of those that we have in the garden. (**) Some pictures are from internet sources. Next summer's project is to replace these with my own pictures. We have some great echinaceas growing in the garden this year that have self-seeded. |
