The Echinacea are starting to bloom;
last week I watched them form their crowns, which really do look like crowns
and kept telling myself to go and get the camera. But I kept drinking my coffee
and watching the clouds roll by. And when I was finally in the garden with the
camera I needed to find some that hadn’t open fully. They thrill me these
plants, I love their structure, the way they open peeling back layers to reveal
themselves, I love the gray / green of the leaves and the hairy bits around
each petal. Then there is the amazing pattern of the cone, the golden
section in all its perfection.
