Every spring we look for some new flowers to plant in the yard to give it a little more color. Hopefully we pick ones that will stagger their blooming throughout the summer.(Click on blog link for other photo.)

I had always liked the beautiful Coneflowers that bloomed in Rocky Mountain National Park, so I thought… why not?

When we bought this Coneflower it said that they grow 3-4 feet. This one has grown to about 8 feet and is just gorgeous! It is such a treat to look out the kitchen window and see the bright yellow flowers blooming in August as most of the other flowers are starting to die off.
