Eastern Purple ConeflowerEchinacea purpurea 'Green Envy'
(ek-in-AY-shee-a)
It is fitting this photo came out with a strange colorcast because the flower itself is a little weird. The shades of green, yellow and pink are difficult to describe. This flower was growing at White Flower Farm in a good-sized patch. It was emitting a kind of greenish glow. The plants were tall and pretty much loaded with flowers, buds and bees.
The parade of new coneflowers seems endless. Mark Veeder who gardens as a hobby developed this flower. It is different and intriguing enough to make it more than a novelty in the garden.
Thank goodness it’s Friday. This was a funny Begonia I saw growing in a container at WFF. It was mixing well with the Coleus and the other white Begonia.
