Ann, that is a simple flower, but it is beautiful in its simplicity. I don't think that I have ever seen one like that before.

So how close it this flower to blooming? I'm not familiar with it. How long til the petals open?

Hi Ann, It looks like Echinacea? I love them when they are in bloom.

Mary,

I am not sure of the Latin name.  I will have to do some research...

Purple Cone Flower is what I have been told it is called.  They grow mainly on the prairies in Missouri

Hi Ann, It's the same thing :-)  and they are used in herbal medicine cold remedies. I would love to see a prairie full of them, I bet that is a beautiful sight!
