Echinacea in Bloom

My front flower bed is a mass of flowers - some, self-seeding (like the blue ones), overrunning the others!

In the midst of the chaos, I was delighted to see six pink echinacea flowers in bloom.

I remember planting one, not six, so they must be multiplying. Some years, they haven’t bloomed, so I thought the plants had died.

My gardening secret: The less weeding I do, the fuller and more interesting my flower beds become!

I haven’t done much weeding, in part because a wasps’ nest was built in the middle of the bed. It took a few days to get rid of. In the process, Terry was stung. But now the nest seems to be gone.

No excuse not to resume weeding, I guess!
