Is it cheating if I use the botanical name for the Purple Coneflower?

    in my book, no, it is not cheating. In fact you should get extra points for knowing its botanical name! beautiful flower!

    Excellent, you are not cheating. But honestly, I have no idea what you were talking about Echinacea!! I do know about purple cornflower and we have in our garden too.

    It's definitely not cheating. In fact, it's quite proper, and you are educating me because I know nothing of flowers except that they are very pretty and lovely to look at. So, I think it's perfect for today's E. Great photo.

    Hi Lin. I tend to know plants by their scientific names - so it works for me. Good picture.

    Thank God you said it was a Purple Coneflower. I thought Echinacea was when they put someone to sleep. (lol)
