Soft touch of colour
Way back, on 13 August 2014, I had a volunteer shift and afterwards, as I sometimes do, drove to the Reader Rock Garden. Thought I'd better see what flowers were in bloom, as summer was slipping away so fast and I hadn't taken many colourful images of flowers, garden or wild. They come in so handy during the seven long months of winter, breaking the monotony of "white" photos. Some of the flowers were well past their prime. As usual when I go there, the wind was blowing the whole time, making it a real challenge to keep the flowers in the viewfinder just long enough to get a shot.
"Echinacea is a genus, or group of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. The nine species it contains are commonly called coneflowers. They are endemic to eastern and central North America, where they are found growing in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος (echino), meaning "sea urchin," due to the spiny central disk. Some species are used in herbal medicines and some are cultivated in gardens for their showy flowers. A few species are of conservation concern." From Wikipedia.
