Gardening 365 – Day 216.
Looking for something to like. When it’s 100 several days in a row, I have to work at finding something to embrace… besides air conditioning.
I spent some time this week going through the list of newbie coneheads! Lookie here now! Hot Papaya, Maui Sunset, Green Envy, Harvest Moon, Twilight, After Midnight, Ruby Star. Oh yes, yes, yes. The whole bunch of them can be found at Far West Nursery this week. Unless I get there first.

Coneflowers are one of my favorites. Love these new vibrant colors.
Yes, this is the time to love all those late summer daisyish flowers. Though I like the rudbeckias more than the coneheads.
Say, MA, can I subscribe to email updates from your blog? I am trying to switch over.
Those are lovely. I have some of them. I do think I was Green Envy next year. We’ll see. Here, I’m just curled up with a book waiting for these dog days to end.~~Dee
wowzer. I like! Chicago has lotsa coneflowers – get ready!
Fabulous collection! Your collage inspires me to try some of those ‘fancy dancy’ coneflowers again. When the new colors started coming out 5 years ago I had NO LUCK with them so I stopped collecting.
