echinacea
photo courtesy of ian, please click on flower to enlarge. also known as the purple coneflower. I have been seeing lots of them in bloom as of late. they are a beautiful drought tolerant flower that is fairly easy to grow here on long island. they don't require much maintenance and will easily spread themselves around your property as their seeds dry out and blow around your yard, and maybe your neighbors, when it's windy. thanks to ian I was able to post this beautiful shot of one them from our backyard.

Beautiful photo Lily.
& MM who would have thought a lovely flower like this would wind up in a cold tablet. I've used it myself on occasion and have found it very helpful. Thank you for the compliment, I will make sure to tell the photographer.
