Echinacea

This is not what I started out to write about, but after spending the day ironing, so to speak, my encaustics, and looking out the window rather longingly at the garden, and noticing the change in the echinacea, and telling myself I better get some photos before the shapes were gone for another year; I finally did get some photos and I think you can see why I didn't dare wait another day. The pattern is incredible, can you see the S in the second photo?, so is the color, as the bud looks chartreuse and green to me and I know the petals will be a soft magenta and the crown will be a deep, dark almost black, and I think I should stop this sentence right now.
