ech·i·na·cea

ˌekəˈnāSHə/

noun

noun: echinacea; plural noun: echinaceas

1. a North American cone flower. It is used in herbal medicine, largely for its antibiotic and wound-healing properties.

When my father died, I gave everyone in the family a packet of wild flower seeds. And the Cone flower was among them. 

When I scattered the seeds in my flower bed, only the Echinacea came up.... one lonely plant !!! Each year it scatters out a few more seeds and I get a few more plants.

 I have heard from other family members that they had no luck with their seeds! I found it very important that when I sold and moved from my house that my Cone Flowers come along with me!

When my Cone Flower is in bloom, I think fondly of my father (yes there is a story about my dad here... another time!)
