Every blossom opens in its own way

Flowers are a lot like children, they bloom in their own time. Flourish in the light of love and grow if fed properly.

This is a white coneflower or echinacea just as it's starting to bloom. It makes its appearance in the early summer in Central NY. The seeds heads are quite ornamental in the fall. They seed themselves quite happily, but are not as prolific as the black eyed susans in our yard.
