Several minutes later, we were in front of Lowes. I saw these white coneflowers. I did not know there were white ones, plus I loved the way the flower heads shone in the sun.
Coneflower is another name for echinacea, a
plant with significant medicinal properties. It is believed to be an immune
system stimulator, and to ward off infections. The flower itself has a large,
circular head with long, thin petals drooping off the sides. Both the herb and
the root are used in healing products.

You have such a good eye for catching photos! I keep echinacea in my medicine chest. It really is good for boosting your immune system!
I like the Coneflower too!
It is also called Echinacea and is a genus consisting of nine types of flowering plants in the Asteraceae family.
God has given us so many beautiful flowers!
Have a blessed Sunday!
I have never seen white once before and I think I am liking the white ones better than the red one although I love them all. Coneflowers make me think of ballet dancers. Once I did a post on a coneflower that I turned into a ballet dancer
They are all so beautiful.
Great photos! They are such a beautiful flower and attract a lot of polinaters :)
These are so pretty, lovely captures as always!
White cornflowers are new to me. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to experiment with herbal health, but my heart meds (and cardiologust) say it's no-no. So, I'll just enjoy their beauty.
We have pink ones. Have never seen them, in any other colors. Love the white ones.
They are really hardy once they get started in your garden. Your photos of them are wonderful
I love your cone flowers. I have only ever had the pink ones, but oh they are all pretty. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Coneflowers are very pretty. I love both colors. Flower heads shining in the sun are really stunning!
I like the Coneflowers. They are sturdy and each bloom lasts a fairly long time. Unfortunately i have too much shade to grow them well.
I didn't know there were cone flowers or that they were medicinal! Cool.
Both a beautiful and medicinal flower. I didn't know that the common name was cone flower. I love how much we can learn while blogging.
Hey Ginny. Hope you have been having a wonderful Sunday. I love cone flowers and I had several last year, but for some reason they did not come back this year. It's a beautiful flower and so many different colors to chose from.
I love coneflowers. I didn't realize there were white ones either.
I think I have some echinacea in my garden, though it's being snuffed out by the crush of lilies among other things (Japanese beetles). I never knew they could be white either. Kind of intriguing looking.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment so I could follow you home. A lovely blog you have!
I love your red ones, they're so striking and cheerful!
Love the red ones!
I had no idea echinacea was so beautiful.
