So far I've been able to resist the urge to plant one of the newer coneflowers, but only because they have been so much more expensive.

I guess for now I'll stick with the common ones--I certainly have enough of those!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-22928873166687329722009-09-10T22:03:19.039-05:002009-09-10T22:03:19.039-05:00Cindy, Your pond thanks you!
