In the garden outside of JBWS, I found a lone cone flower, or echinacea. This is interesting, since these plants are typically found in wooded areas or dry prairies. Some limited research has been done, seeking to find out if there are any medical benefits to be gained by ingesting the cone flower, specifically focused on cold symptoms and cancer. Unfortunately, results have been mostly inconclusive. Even though they won’t cure the common cold, these flowers are great for your garden because they work well in many climates and maintain their beautiful foliage almost year round!
