The coneflowers are back and better than ever from the last two summers of heat. I had not been out to the area for a few days and when I walked out there they were blooming everywhere. I know that they look like they have taken over the garden but I like that. I am sort of a country garden person where there really are no boundaries. If they decide to take over the area where I plant tomatoes I will just plant tomatoes somewhere else. I was concerned that I didn't have the darker colored coneflower and I now realize that dry weather keeps the flowers looking pale in contrast to a well watered flower.

I see so many people posting these flowers in their photos. Have never seen a flower like this in Southern California.
I love the purple coneflowers. We don't have any so thanks for sharing yours. I don't blame you for being happy that they are spreading!
I don't know if coneflowers grow here but if not - why not? They are lovely. I'm a bit of a haphazard gardener, I enjoy flowers wherever they grow. Since turning over part of the garden to the wildlife I am amazed at what pretty flowers do grow without me having planted them.
