Upright Prairie Coneflower

I'm not completely sure that this is upright prairie coneflower, but the online plant id program that I use suggests that is most likely what it is.

These flowers are attractive both as individual flowers, and as groups, and I took shots of several individual flowers as well as the whole bed of them.

Louise and I found this in the ornamental kitchen garden at Grimsthorpe Castle. As well as a very varied selection of vegetables, there was also a wide variety of flowers, presumably to be cut to decorate the rooms of Grimsthorpe Castle.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

It has been a real voyage of discovery visiting grand houses and gardens this month. I now have a growing list of places I want to visit - its a good job we have membership of Historic Houses!
