Coneflower x 2 (bought from store) transplanted into southwest mini-bed

"PowWow Wild Berry Coneflower" aka "Echinacea purpurea PowWow Wild Berry".

The coneflower outside the fence had been totally eaten (the seeds) by the birds over the winter, whereas the black-eyed Susans not at all.  So maybe these coneflowers will help bring some birds into the yard this fall/winter.

Goldfinches eating seeds from the Ivory Silk Lilac tree out front!

Wow, the goldfinches are sure having a party around here these days -- five different foods inside or in front of my yard!

- lilac tree seeds

- wild primrose seeds

- purple coneflower seeds

- sunflower seeds from the one remaining plant

- sunflower seeds from the feeder
