Pale Purple Coneflower

With its sharp coppery–orange cone spikes and its purple–pink drooping petals, this native flower really “rocks” on the prairie. The coneflower is a very showy flower, especially when planted in mass or with other flowers of contrasting color. With the unique petal–twisting that can form, the flower gives an appearance of dancing in the wind. The nectar in the blooms attract butterflies, while the birds (Goldfinches) enjoy the seeds in the cone. Pale Purple Coneflower (Echinacea pallida)
