Pic of the Day - May 27



Coneflowers - pretty damn kewl!  At night they close up tight and resemble an ice cream cone.  Now I want ice cream...anybody have B&J's chunky monkey around?

    They look a little spider-y, too.

    I like cone flowers but for some reason this is one plant that doesn't cooperate with my green thumb.

    Coneflowers (Echinachea) are very popular here in Upstate NY. Did you know that they are reputed to have medicinal properties?
