Not sure what this flower is called… but it sure is pretty… it’s always a great time to get out and take some photos! Even if it’s raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing. I love to find unexpected treasures… mainly light and shadows, but hey, you’ve got to work with what you’ve got at the time, right? I love how the flower stands up against the blurred green background… it makes it quite stately (in a weather-beaten sort of way, ha ha) don’t you think?
Remember… tomorrow is a holiday for many folks, if you’re one of them… ENJOY! Time to get out and ride a bike, take a walk, read a good book (just finished an old Nora Roberts book THE SEARCH… holy cow! It was a page turner!).
Have a good day and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!

Hello Barbara! Lovely photo of the coneflower. This particular one is called echinacea purpurea and it is one of the perennials in my garden the nutritional supplement echinacea is derived from this plant. I will be celebrating Labor Day at the College of Charleston. Students, faculty and staff will be working away tomorrow! I have never understood why CofC treats it like a regular day.

Thanks for the info… you’re right! ha ha… As soon as you mentioned coneflower I knew that’s what it was called, but I didn’t know that echinacea was derived from this plant, I love interesting facts like that!
CofC works/has class tomorrow?! Ugh! Well, hopefully it will be a great day!
