Purple Coneflower

Unsung heroes of the garden fringes Perennial favorites for a colorful bouquet, Purple coneflowers with yellow twinges. Violets are sweet…, yes, they are okay, But they are too small, coneflowers tower Perennial favorites for a colorful bouquet. They are imposing not unlike a sunflower Those bright purple petals, strikingly nice, Looking swell edging a front lattice bower. Their scent can be reminiscent of a spice But be careful smelling, for bees also enjoy Those bright purple petals, strikingly nice. Purple coneflowers the florists employ For lovely summer arrangements, in fact, But be careful smelling, for bees also enjoy. Of the purple coneflower, nothing lacked Unsung heroes of the garden fringes For lovely summer arrangements, in fact, Purple coneflowers with yellow twinges.
