Happy Tuesday from this pretty corner of my garden. These beauties have been blooming for just over a week now. What do you call them? Either of these names..coneflower and echinacea…seem quite ugly to me for these perfect, pretty flowers. But when I googled it that's what I found.
Or this third option...painted daisies. Personally I love that one best. Does a rose smell as sweet by any other name? I was never convinced that it would.

I confess that I’m completely enchanted with the way the petals transform in colour through oranges, pinks and fuchsias as they bloom. I don’t think that colour scheme gets pulled off as well anywhere else in the world. With the exception of sunrises and sunsets maybe.
I love that these are just such a classic style flower. Isn’t this pretty much what you drew when you first started drawing flowers as a child? Or still draw if you're a doodling-in-the-margins type of person like me?
And so I thought I would snip a few and make a little bouquet to brighten this little corner of the patio. Ah, that’s nice! Just the thing to cheer up a side table, maybe even inspire someone to take their work outside for a while on a summer afternoon.

And oh look at that. My skirt today matches one of those stunning Orange Pink Sunset colours exactly…there must be a good word for that.
Serendipity.
Now there would be a pretty name for a pretty flower
that would smell just as sweet.
Do you know if there's a way to get the name of a flower changed?
Wishing you happy days in your garden, whatever form it comes in.
Sharing is lovely...
