Introducing Echinacea "Peppermint Candy.™" We are having trouble reproducing her in tissue culture, but she is coming along nicely...
It Can Be Fun to Breed Your Own Echinaceas
Here's Echinacea "Nehi Grape.™" This one has the first true purple blooms of any Echinacea.
Here is Echinacea "Ring Around the Rosey.™" This one has a similar growth habit to Pink Double Delight, but the blooms have a white ring in the middle with white petals around the center;.

I don't check this board very often so I'm just now seeing your post and holy crap! DROOL! Those colors are crazy! When will we see these available in the trade? If any of my customers ask me for them, I'm trackin' you down and kickin' your butt :)
I love those. Please,please ,please keep us updated!
Wow those are are AMAZING! And you bred them yourself? Wow.
This was just an April Fool's joke. I'm sorry if nobody got the joke. That's why I told everyone happy April Fool's Day in the thread. LOL.
Well, you did a good job touching those photos!
I'm sorry to anyone who didn't realize this was an April Fool's joke. I didn't mean any harm.
Oh, I meant that as a compliment :) They look very real!
I wonder if Terra Nova needs any help touching up their photos. LOL. Some of their plants don't look like the tags.
HAHAHAHA, good one! and it's so true!
echinaceamaniac, just out of curiosity, how on earth did you create those pix and what program did you use?☺
I used Photoshop. LOL. I was just joking around for April Fool's Day. A friend at work helped me come up with the names.
Thanks!

It's amazing/scary what you can do with photoshop. I once used it to add people to our company group photo because they couldn't be there on photo day. I thought I did a pretty good job but your pictures are really impressive. Nice work!
I think this is a really funny April fool! :)
