6/29/08 - Purple Coneflower

This is the third season for my coneflowers. The first they were purple/pink and a few white, last year all white, this year white until this one came along.
Coneflowers have a history and following for medicinal purposes (news to me). Try Googling "coneflower medicine".
Composed this to show a "hint" of a 2nd coneflower - for context and to fill in the blank area in a (hopefully) non-distracting fashion. Put a piece of black foam core behind everything to eliminate distracting background material.

Nikon D300
1/400s f/5.6 at 105.0mm iso400 full exif
