Echinacea or rudbeckia - Farendwoman - 09-08-2023
I’ve got this labelled as echinacea sun magic.
But it looks very much like a rudbeckia.
Anyone got a definitive answer please??

I wouldn't keep the burdock as it sticks to your clothes and, particularly for me, the dogs' fur. I've heard that burdock was the inspiration for velcro. Homemade Velcro anyone?

Once again I knew you'd say summat like that. You do realise, don't you, I only say these things to keep you amused.

I know, JJB, life wouldn't be the same without you feeding me the lines to play with. Thank you for being here.
