RE: echinacea question

Cathy, my experience is similar.  The first time I had malformed flowers
I removed all the plants and replaced with new stock.  The next year I
had a few plants that again demonstrated the problem on a few blooms -
never all the flowers on the plant.  I just left them alone and in
subsequent years the flowers were normal and the plants healthy.  Seems
like I see this on at least one plant every season.  I almost look
forward to seeing what surprising flower form I'm going to get each year
on my echinaceas :).

Interesting...the few flower heads that are affected on mine do 
resemble this condition, however I have never noted any yellowing of 
new growth in spring, nor are leafhoppers a particular problem here. 
Also have no sign of disease on my many asters. I'll keep a closer eye 
on my plants this year.
