Echinacea bud

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations on my CUPOTY shortlisting, I will confess to going on the site several times, not just to see all the other shortlisted entries but to check mine was really there! :-)
My echinacea is giving me much pleasure when the rest of garden has lost a lot of colour. Rob spent Thursday afternoon  painting one wall of the studio building and it was a very different hue of green to what we were expecting. We've checked back with the paint chart and they must have mixed us the one next to the one we wanted resulting in a colour which had much more blue in it. So, it is back to the shop today with photographic evidence and the wall will be repainted when the weather allows.
