Echinacea angustifolia DC.
Family: Asteraceae
Growing in a large clump in my yard. This plant was transplanted years ago and seems to be very happy here.
The stems are up-right and around 24-30 inches in height. A light pink flower head grows at each side-branch and terminal branch. They have a long peduncle as well. The leaves are very hairy.
Here is a picture after taking off the 21 ray flowers. Each ray flower is 1 1/2 in to 2 in long
I did not count every disc flower! My best guess would be between 100 and 200.
There were 21 ray flowers.
