From the Home Garden – Echinacea paradoxa (Ozark Coneflower)
Echinacea paradoxa, also known as Ozark coneflower, Bush’s coneflower and yellow coneflower is found natively in southwestern Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. I was happy to see this one flowered during its first year in my front yard garden.
