You nailed it!! Wow, just gorgeous!! Photos of Zexmenia, another favorite of mine, never seem to do it the justice this great plant deserves either. Is that a sotol/dasylirion in the background of the gaillardia picture? Such beautiful form; just wish it weren't so thorny on the edges.

I've never had a coneflower bloom after the middle of summer.<br /><br />You've reminded me again that I miss growing Chocolate flower. I need to make sure I grow these next year!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
