White Coneflower

Several years ago I purchased this white coneflower.  Not that I like white flowers that well---fly spots and dirt show up readily on the color white and heaven knows there is plenty of both on a dairy farm.

To get a picture of a clean white coneflower, you have to catch it early in its blooming career, as shown in the photo below (which is a bit dark because it was taken in the evening).

As with anything white, it doesn't stand a chance at staying that way for very long. I love how the petals fold down.
