Re: echinacea question

Mine do that occasionally, and I have thought the same thing. Whatever it is, for me the problem is stable - I have a few each year, with no increase in affected flowers.

Subject: [CHAT] echinacea question

Has anyone ever seen a purple coneflower produce the center part of the
flower (that forms the seed head) but no petals? I have one plant that
has two like this, others on the same plant have the petals.

I suspected something chewed them off, but there is no petal or remnant
of same at all on these two. They are maturing normally otherwise. This
plant is about 4 years old and has never done this before.


ideas??

thanks.
