About	Canon PowerShot S1 IS Photographed May 29, 2005 1:51 PM Coneflower is a common name that is often applied to Rudbeckias, Black Eyed Susans and Chrysamthemums, Shasta Daisies. It can be misleading when these plants are listed as coneflowers with no reference to their botanical name, because these plants have varied growing requirements and don't necessarily live happily together. While Black-Eyed Susan and Shasta Daisy do quite well here in Zone 7, Echinacea doesn't care for us at all. But, it really isn't all that odd that we refer to both Black Eyed Susans and Purple Cone Flowers as Cone Flowers. These plants were both placed in the same genus, Rudbeckia, by scientist Olaf Rudbeck of Uppsala University in Sweden around the turn of the 18th Century. Olaf was a very respected scientist who in addition to creating the first botanic garden in Sweden also discovered the lymphatic system. His son went on to follow in his footsteps and was the teacher and patron of another even more famous botanist, Carl von Linné, who organized plants into the classes, orders, families and species that we still use today. An odd quirk of history caused Rudbeck Sr.'s botanic garden to become known as The Linnaeus Garden or Linnéträdgården. The garden wasn't the only thing to have its name changed, though. Linné decided Purple Cone Flower was distinct enough to have its own genus and called it Echinacea.

I love this one Peter! A favorite, excellent shot!

Margaret Sturgess {K:49403} 6/6/2005

Again marvellous information as well as a wonderful composition. Bright clear colours and details lovely composition - agree with DOn might be worth cloning out the bright lines - so as not to detract from the beauty of the flower

Thanks Mark, I've kinda made a commitment to post information on the flowers I shoot. Since this site is viewed by so many people in so many countries, I feel by sharing this information more enjoymnet can be had by all who take time to stop, look and read.

Thanks again for all your great comments...
Your friend Peter

The only thing I like better than viewing a nice picture, is viewing a nice picture and getting a history lesson in the bargain. Thanks for both, Peter!
