Coneflowers Pictures
Paul! Yo! What is in the big round green urn that's short and red? I mean the flower, the flowers are NOT a coneflower, and they're short or reddish-orange.

Paul, Love your pictures (and stories too!). Since we are both dealing with hot humid summers what is your best white coneflower? I also have a very small yard so it is important that I keep it as small as possible, though I do have some area along a fence where it could get tall.thanks
carrie, its red spreading verbena...and the grass is 'Morning Light' in the middle.....
There is a small version of a white one called Kim's Mophead but I tell you the truth I don't much care for it...the white looks kinda washed out from the get go much less later in August.....Now my personal favorite is 'White Swan', a healthy mature 'White Swan' is about as good as it gets if you ask me......the white in the evening is almost luminous, I tell you the 'bomb' as my little sister used to say.......:)
there is another one, Fragrant Angel but I've never grown it myself but heard good things from some folks I know who grow it.. but I saw it in a nursery onetime and it don't have the pizzazz of 'White Swan' if you ask me ......Is my love and favoritism for White Swan' coming through?......:)
Paul from Alabama
By the way, teacup, thanks for reading my stories and I'm so glad you enjoyed them.......you have a nice weekend, you too carrie
Paul from Alabama
Thanks, Paul, you're Da Man.
Thanks paul, I'll look for White swan. How big does it get for you at maturity?
No carrie, You da woman.....:)

Paul from Alabama
No, Paul, please. You da bomb!
OK, no fair, I can't top that......:)
