Echinacea pallida the Pale Purple Coneflower is native to much of the USA
My clump now in it's third year is very tall this year with all our recent rain.
Often, in the early morning, bees are waking up on the cones.
Below you can see the difference between species pallida & purpurea
The pods are from poppies
I read that Echinacea comes from a Greek word meaning hedgehog in recognition of the bristly cones
