Coneflowers



The books call them echinacea, but they're really just the coneflower some one gave you.  It is very strong, spreading through your garden.  Its large seed attract butterflies and beautiful gold finches.  The label at the store  talks about the purple coneflower, but as you can see, it is really a rosy pink.  I bought a white one last year, but it is not as vigorous as the passalong one I have.

The herbal remedies book assigns it all sorts of powers from heart helps to dealing with female troubles.  The herbal medicine section offers the magic healing echinacea.
