That pink poodle almost looks like a dahlia or mum; love that yellow one..is that mac&cheese? I hate mac&cheese(the food)!

Here is mine. I'm not sure what variety I have.

Here is another ech.

very nice, my Pink Double Delight looked great when i bought it from Lowes last yr. This yr. i had tons of buds but the flowers look awful. I cut it down to the ground.

Here's a pic that I've posted before, 'Coconut Lime' with 'Fatal Attraction.' It makes a really nice combo.

Here's another pic from this year.

v1rtu0s1ty, that is beautiful. what kind is that?

Here is my favorite Echinacea - also my favorite perennial - Green Jewel. This is my second year with them. They bloom a ridiculously long time - they were first to start blooming this spring, and last fall they went on until late October. Also just discovered they last two weeks in a vase. :) I am definitely getting more the next time I see them.

jardin, I'm not sure what it is. It's similar to gary's above. Glad I was able to grab 2 spent flowers from the public garden. :D

Green Jewel and Fatal Attraction are 2 i will have to add to my collection, beautiful!

I believe this is Magnus.

This is year four for this one in my garden, Echinacea 'Summer Sky' (Ignore the default date stamp, this pic was taken yesterday):

{{gwi:249149}}

This picture was taken a couple of years ago. It is just now about to start blooming, so no pictures yet from this year. It's Echinacea 'Harvest Moon'
{{gwi:249151}}

I also have 'Sunrise', but it doesn't hold its pale yellow color well, ends up looking more like white once it's fully in bloom. Not that white is bad, but I bought it for the yellow color.

Used to have 'Sundown', it wasn't as orange as advertised, mostly pink, and the plants weren't healthy at all. Eventually they just didn't come back.

I'd love to have 'Coconut Lime' or 'Hot Papaya' though ...

Wow! Beautiful photos, everyone. I love those Pink Poodles!

I have (my favorite) Coconut Lime, Magnus, Ruby Star and Sunrise, but this photo is of my White Swans. I know they are run of the mill, but I'm so proud of them because I grew them from seed myself, which I'd never done with perennials before.

Mine has to be Coconut Lime decked out in her Sunday best.

{{gwi:249155}}

These 'white swan' I grew from seed years ago.
I love to pair them with ageratum 'blue horizon' or 'red top'.

And 'Ruby' was a new addition to the border last year:

Mollydog, great shot!

My favorite photo of my favorite Echinaceas - just the plain old Echinacea purpurea, and the cultivar 'White Swan' -

Thank you leafy...it was like she was posing for me...although I probably took 10 shots to get that one.

I'm partial to the old standbys :-)

{{gwi:249163}}

Please id this plant. It is a very soft vine. I got it at a yard sale from the owner who gave me a start. She said it was here when she moved in an had no idea what it was.{{gwi:249165}}

Here is a link that might be useful: RE: Let's see your favorite Ech. pics.

I have E. purpurea. Thanks for sharing pics of other varieties

Why does everyone have such perfect coneflowers while mine get all bug eaten?

*sigh*

Coconut lime is so pretty..

My thought exactly, cheleinri!!!!!
Or flowers eaten off by (rabbits?).
It's not fair.
