Echinacea Magnus (aka Cone flowers)

I DO NOT have a green thumb. In fact, if you see any beautiful flowers appearing on my blog, I am not to be credited. I’m doing good if I can simply water them. I know that may sound easy enough, but I tend to forget.

Actually, these Echinacea Magnus blooms (sure you could call them Coneflowers, but isn’t Echinacea Magnus much more fun to say…try that 10 times), were found in my parents’ backyard. Last weekend, I found myself wandering around the backyard after spending the day visiting family (lunch with Grandma and a hair appointment with my sister…that was a first). It was so beautiful (temperatures in the mid 80s instead of 100s) that I couldn’t help but enjoy it…with my camera.

Moments later, my sweet sister pulled up in the drive way with a strange look on her face. “What are you doing?” “Just taking pictures.” “You’re weird.” It’s moments like this that make me miss home. Have a great weekend!
