We are trying to be good naturalists by slowly converting bits of our turf lawn to native gardens. Typically you don’t get blooms on echinacea in the first year. But this guy was on a mission. I’m here for it.

Fun! Our one early arriver eager beaver pale purple coneflower got a good bit of color over the weekend. How ‘bout THAT for your #Bloomscrolling?! 😂

@User47 This is encouraging. I planted a bunch this year....
@simonpayn best of luck to you! We tried for years to grow from seed and it just wouldn’t work for us. Finally gave up and went to a native plant sale
