The purple cone flower or Echinacea purpurea is a popular flowering perennial in the Aster family. It has a distinctive spiky brown center surrounded by pink or purple daisy like petals. In this image however, I've used an infrared effect to give the flowers a dramatic black and white dreamlike feel. The scientific name for cone flowers "Echinacea" is derived from the Greek word echino meaning hedgehog. The center of the cone flower certainly is reminiscent of a hedgehog.

I come from a creative family who loved art, music, photography and sometimes random hiking adventures. I am thankful to them for giving me the gift of curiosity, creativity and a love of the natural world. I incorporate all of these aspects into my work and enjoy working with a variety of mediums. I also enjoy making detailed collages using recycled materials, in this way I can do my part to help the environment and create something beautiful. Thank you for visiting!
