Purple Coneflower


From Wikipedia:

Echinacea purpurea, the eastern purple coneflower, purple coneflower, hedgehog coneflower, or echinacea, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to parts of eastern North America and present to some extent in the wild in much of the eastern, southeastern and midwestern United States as well as in the Canadian Province of Ontario. It is most common in the Ozarks and in the Mississippi/Ohio Valley. Its habitats include dry open woods, prairies and barrens.

I’ve seen a lot of these I presume are “past their peak”, with the petals sagging towards the ground, and while they have a very different look then, they are equally attractive and interesting.
