"Purple coneflower's scientific name 'Echinacea' comes from the Greek word meaning 'spiny' or 'sea urchin'. Even without their brightly-colored petals, purple coneflower plants resemble these oceanic creatures with their spiked centers." ( https://vackersign.com/) The last of my double exposure photo week. An echinacea flower pairs nicely with bee balm.
