New Flower (August 14, 2018) – Echibeckia Summerina Orange

….this is a Dutch-bred cross between two genera in the Asteraceae family—in this case, Echinacea and Rudbeckia. The result is lush full plants with long-lasting, brown-eyed flowers that look a lot like Rudbeckias

My Backyard Visitor

….we’ve either got a lot of rabbits in the neighbourhood or this little fellow gets around

They’re so cute but our garden is suffering. We’ve caught this little guy in the lettuce patch, nibbling the kale and completely destroying the bush beans at the back of the yard.

The one plant that he hasn’t destroyed is the yellow bean plant.
