It makes me feel like I have accomplished something to bring joy to others.<BR/><BR/>Carol - I'm glad to know other gardeners have the same problem with coneflowers. I was beginning to think it was something I was doing wrong.<BR/><BR/>LostRoses - Yes, I am amazed at the xeric plants that suffer in full sun, and I too have come to the conclusion that it is because of the altitude and the sun beating down so hard on them.<BR/><BR/>Beth - believe me, I learn something every day about flowers! It is a never-ending, but enjoyable process. But isn't it fun?<BR/><BR/>Yolanda - I'm sure it must be the rainy weather that is keeping the butterflies away. It seems that there are so many areas that are having rain, like England! Yikes, are they having it rough. Hope you get a break soon.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729192065772139823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-31609090720690698662007-07-26T14:34:00.000-06:002007-07-26T14:34:00.000-06:00Recently I bought my first Echinaceas and they are...Recently I bought my first Echinaceas and they are flowering now. Not many butterflies though, but that's probably to do with the cold and wet weather. It's raining a lot over here. Your sun drenched pic cheered me up though, so thanks Bev! ;-)Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-10011637079108773122007-07-25T04:18:00.000-06:002007-07-25T04:18:00.000-06:00Beautiful!

When I would see one or the other I'd think, 'Gee, that coneflower looks just like echinacea' or 'Hmmm, that echinacea really looks like coneflower' -- as I'm learning my flowers, now I know they're one and the same!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-21419194308268621842007-07-25T03:12:00.000-06:002007-07-25T03:12:00.000-06:00You have a pretty garden.

I find it interesting that a lot of plants that should be rather xeric here still need a bit of help. Must be the altitude!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-83836129435769071862007-07-24T19:55:00.000-06:002007-07-24T19:55:00.000-06:00Well done... your flowers are always so pretty.

My coneflowers are suffering in the dry weather, too, but I feel confident they'll make it, regardless of how droopy they are at the end of the day.<BR/><BR/>Carol at May Dreams GardensCarol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833228872509804269.post-78233466585821011022007-07-24T18:03:00.000-06:002007-07-24T18:03:00.000-06:00That is a lovely site!
