Echinacea nation

**j* e* m* s* <h*@sbcglobal.net>**

GWLers -- for an in-season, amusing read, please check out Irvin 
Etienne's blog "Echinacea Nation" at the Indianapolis Museum of Art's 
Web site. You'll love Barbie's new do and costume, too. Her wardrobe 
is endless! Of course, there's music.

 From the blog:
Oh how far the rather drab coneflower has come, simple little purple 
coneflower, Echinacea purpurea. Once merely the love child of native 
plant enthusiasts and plant ecologists she now graces the cover of 
nearly every plant catalog like the "it" supermodel of the plant 
kingdom...

P.S. A lovely Dency Kane photo of Echinacea purpurea also graces the 
cover of the Indiana Gardener's Guide.
