Gardening Bloom Day

I have to confess that these coneflowers are one of my favorite plants, I particularly like the way they collect morning light.
If you want to see other plants in bloom right now in the blogosphere, Carol at MayDreamsGarden has a full listing on her blog right here.
But I note the only problem with having a plant looking great in the morning light is that you actually have to get up to see it. 
Lovely yellow coneflowers! I’m willing to rise early to see the morning light on my blooms.

“Most” mornings anyway.
Yeah, me too most mornings
Lovely yellow coneflowers. I am very partial to yellow, and will have to try them in the garden next year. My favorite time of day to be in the garden is early morning (especially this time of year).

What’s with all these darn gardeners and their early mornings? I get up to take pics and wander the gardens – so do you? What’s with this? Haven’t we heard of sleeping in?
Sleeping in is for people who don’t garden!

What’s the variety name? I’ve grown some yellow echinacea, but like the way this one looks better.

Hey Judy – it’s ‘Sunrise’ (should have posted this) You gotta get it in the right early morning light early in the bloom cycle – it tends to get paler as it ages.
