Purple Cone Flowers

Purple cone flowers are related to black-eyed susans, which grow all around Spokane where I grew up. I've planted purple cone flowers before, but they didn't do well. Echinacea is the other name for this flower and the substance drawn form the flowers is useful in strengthening the immunce system and for getting rid of colds. Good echinacea, which means strong because it is fresh, will make your tongue tingle. It's a weird sensation and proves to me that it has a substance in it that is working. And they are pretty. What could be better?
