It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one of my favorites and has been blooming like crazy around my area and especially in my gardens. This is Echinacea also known as Cone Flower or, here in Kansas, Black Sampson Echinacea. It usually blooms June through July. This Echinacea provides pain relieving compounds and Native Americans used it for toothaches, sore throats, wounds and burns. I find it very photogenic. Birds like to eat the dried seeds.
