Exotic Flowers

Isn't this a beauty! Painted tongue plant

(Salpiglossis sinuata) This South American native loves cool weather and blooms from spring until the plant begins to fade in midsummer. Salpiglossis often produces a late-season burst of color when temperatures drop in autumn.

Fritillaria Orange
How exotic looking is this plant.
Fritillaria imperialis (crown imperial, imperial fritillary or Kaiser's crown) is a species of flowering plant in the lily family, native to a wide stretch from Kurdistan across the plateau of Turkey, Iraq and Iran, to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Himalayan foothills.

Cone Flowers

Tall Cone Flowers
reaching for the sky!

Purple Cone Flowers
also known as Echinacea. Echinacea's name is rooted in the Greek word “echinos,” meaning "hedgehog," because of its spiny seed head. Technically speaking, this thick and spiky cone is actually hundreds of flowers, all tightly packed together. The entire plant can be used for its immune boosting properties. The purple ray flowers attach to a round, high and spiky cone – hence the common name “purple coneflower.” Technically speaking, this thick and spiky cone is actually hundreds of more flowers, all tightly packed together.
