Echinacea

Stunning colour, unusual shape (often called the coneflower) and very popular with bees.

It's a beautiful day if a little windy .... I should be out in the garden but I've still got packing to do and I need to go and collect my trousers.

I don't think I'll manage much commenting tonight ..... early to bed and very early to rise as I'm picking up my pal at 3am as we head off to Edinburgh airport ... if only we could fly from Glasgow to Switzerland!
