Signs of August–the beautiful coneflower, also known as Echinacea. Echinacea is found in herbal medicines and is used for many things including treatment for the common cold. There is little medical evidence that medicinal values of this plant are anything but an old wives’ tale but a whole lot of people seem to think otherwise.
The coneflower comes in many colors. the most dramatic are the magentas and hot pinks. It sure is a favorite of mine.
Did everyone take advantage of the tax free weekend for back to school? The end of no tax on Amazon is looming…September 1 is the drop dead date on that one. To anyone who said they didn’t ever vote to increase taxes…well…yes they did if they voted to tax purchases from Amazon.
