Planning a garden.
A garden is your field of dreams.

An Herbal Beauty
A bee’s favorite color is lavender. Purple Coneflowers are daughters of Ohio.
The purple is called a "Purple Coneflower" or "Echinacea". Cones are native to Ohio and most of the United States. They bloom in early Summer. Essential to any veggie garden. The bees are wild for this native plant. And the butterflies aren't complaining either. Perennial. Cones don't bloom the first year, as a rule. If planted by seed.
