( nene just giggles, shaking her head. )

When it's fully grown, the pistil- the center part the petals grow around- is going to be larger and kind of like a dome? and the petals will wort of sloop downward, like a cone. It's still getting there, though- it was only planted a bit ago.

( also hey fun fact did you know purple coneflowers have been used for centuries as treatment for colds and cold symptoms? i just thought that was very interesting. )

I'm really excited to see how it grows!
