My master gardener is outdoing herself this spring and with the relatively mild weather we have had there is just an explosion of color around our house. These are the first red cone flowers Chrissy has grown. They reminded me of the fireworks we're likely to see tomorrow night. All comments welcome.>=))>

The combination of red and green is perfect, Bill. I'm glad I'm moving to a house with a plot of dirt so I can plant too.

Even though you caught this one early, there are still grains of pollen ;^)

Cheers,
Carol

Very, very nice Bill. The red and the lines and shapes are great to explore and then finding the center above is an added bonus. Very nice indeed.

Excellent, vibrant coneflower image, Bill. I particularly like the look of the flower center (ULC).

Bill - Love this classic composition and the colors. I see this colored CF blooming here only in August and it remains pretty fresh even into the cooler autumn weeks.
