Echinacea purpurea, eastern purple coneflower, purple coneflower, hedgehog coneflower, or echinacea (lat. Echinácea purpúrea). A perennial herbaceous plant native to North America.

Many scientific articles have been written about the medicinal properties of echinacea. I recommend contacting them better, as they will reveal the benefits of this plant in more detail and professionally than me. For my part, I would like to share a recipe for tea with echinacea, because autumn is the season when we get sick more often and our body needs additional help🥰

☕️The recipe for tea with echinacea: 1-2 fresh flowers (not fully opened) or 2 tsp. of dry collection, brew 0.5 liters of boiling water and insist for a few minutes, then you can strain. You can add rosehip berries and honey. The drink turns out to be spicy and fragrant. The only thing is, it is better not to abuse it and not to drink for longer than 1-2 weeks in a row💚

Эхина́цея пурпурная (лат. Echinácea purpúrea). Многолетнее травянистое растение родом из Северной Америки.

Про лечебные свойства эхинацеи написано множество научных статей. Рекомендую обратиться лучше к ним, так как они подробнее и профессиональнее меня раскроют пользу данного растения. Со своей же стороны мне хотелось бы поделиться рецептом чая с эхинацеей, ведь осень – такой сезон, когда мы чаще болеем и нашему организму нужна дополнительная помощь🥰

☕️Рецепт чая с эхинацеей: 1-2 свежих цветка (не раскрытых полностью) или 2 ч.л. сухого сбора заварить 0,5 л. кипятка и настаивать несколько минут, затем можно процедить. Можно добавить ягоды шиповника и мед. Напиток получается пряным и душистым. Единственное, лучше им не злоупотреблять и не пить дольше 1-2 недель подряд💚

I am slipping and behind sharing art evenly on my socials, time to get the rest of the Frieren flower set here! This time we're here with Stark!

For Stark here, I used three main flowers.

The first and largest is the coneflower, a large member of the daisy family. It has associations with medicine and healing to native Americans, sometimes called elk root. Their other name, Echinacea, comes from their spiny center, using the Greek word 'ekhinos', which means sea urchin or hedgehog. It holds meanings of strength, wellness, health. The red coneflower, in particular, can also mean passion or assertiveness and was used to declare love or relationships. They attract Bees and butterflies and can endure even droughts and fires.

From the same family of flowers I also included some Black-Eyed Susans. This hardy flower is highly adaptable and grows all year round. The symbolize encouragement, motivation and resilience, which went well with Stark's training. They can also mean justice, which fits with his need to be stronger after demons destroyed his village. The name Black-Eyed Susan comes from a poem of a woman who cried her eyes black looking for her lover, and is about a long earned reunion.

Lastly, the small white flowers are Valerian. From the literal Latin valere meaning to be strong and healthy, the meaning is unsurprising. They are also known to help with anxiety, fatigue, and aches. Aside from strength and health, it symbolizes readiness & awareness of what is to come. Sometimes, it is given to show loyalty or faith, or the want for that to grow.

DAY 21: CHAINS - There’s only one flower you can use for “chains”, really, and that’s the daisy. This particular one is Echinacea, also known as coneflowers. The name comes from the Greek word for “hedgehog”, because of the spiny centre.

Echinacea purpurea is often used in traditional medicine, most commonly as a treatment for cold symptoms. Native American tribes in South Dakota told Europeans about it, and it made its way overseas.

I guess “chains” made me think of punk fashion and a particularly complex hairstyle I’d seen online and the two kind of combined into this. I really love this one, it’s another one of my favourites. Expect it on a t-shirt at some point!

Punane siilkübar (Echinacea purpurea)

Saksa keeles Purpur-Sonnenhut, inglise keeles purple coneflower või hedgehog coneflower. Eesti keeles ka tuntud punase päevakübra nime all.

Mitmeaastane õistaim, mis on siilkübara perekonna liige korvõieliste sugukonnas, mis on astrilaadsete seltsi osa.

Pärineb Põhja-Ameerikast, kuid kasvab ka laialt Euroopas ja paljudes aedades ilutaimena. Kasvab 60-100 cm kõrguseks. Kasutakse ka ravimtaimena, kuigi teaduslikud uuringud ei ole kinnitanud mingit kindlat ravimtoimet.

Taime saab ära tunda kõige kergemini oma suurte lineaalsete, tavaliselt roosaka või punaka kroonlehtede kaudu, mis meenutavad natuke värvunud karikakart. Kuid on ka sorte aretatud, mis on teiste värvidega, mil juhul on kergem arusaada, et punase siilkübaraga on tegu, kui vaadata õie paksu keskosa, mis meenutab kübarat või siili.

Begonia, Bergenia, Coneflower, Garden Cosmos, and Zinnia for the flower ask game

ty!!

Begonia: Favorite Color?

I really like brown and green--earth tones just in general are great--but i look best in red ^^

Bergenia: Are you a morning or night person?

Yknow, I really thought I was a night person for a while in my teens, back when I could stay up until 3 writing every night, but now I'm a grandpa that needs to go to bed by 11 and wakes up at the asscrack of dawn. On the other hand, my lovely partner, the Actual night person between the two of us, is incapable of getting to sleep before 1 in the morning

Coneflower: What's your dream job?

Culinary anthropologist! Honestly, I'd love to be able to travel and write about the importance of food and cooking in people's lives, it means so very much to me personally--I want David Chang's job re Ugly Delicious specifically and that is it

Garden Cosmos: How was your day today?

Eh, solidly middle of the road. I had a decent day at work, got shit done, my boss got back from his trip to Europe, so I'm not alone in the office anymore, and he was in an uncharacteristically good mood. I also spent Saturday meal prepping for the week, so I had dak bulgogi and banchan for lunch, which was nice. :) I still ended up leaving work early tho because i have a migraine and my mouth tastes like blood again lol

Zinnia: Give me a random fact about yourself?

my first fictional character crush was in fact sonic the hedgehog and i have been told that that makes sense considering the type of people im into lmao

Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) are native wildflowers in North America.

The genus name is from the Greek echinos, meaning "hedgehog.” Coneflower has spiny centers, thus it is the hedgehog of the flower species.

We hope you are finding wildflowers in your areas during National Wildflower Week.

Echinacea purpurea (eastern purple coneflower, purple coneflower, hedgehog coneflower, or echinacea) is a North American species of flowering plant in the sunflower family. It is native to parts of eastern North America and present to some extent in the wild in much of the eastern, southeastern and midwestern United States as well as in the Canadian Province of Ontario. It is most common in the Ozarks and in the Mississippi/Ohio Valley. Its habitats include dry open woods, prairies and barrens.

Echinacea purpurea is an herbaceous perennial up to 120 cm (47 in) tall by 25 cm (10 in) wide at maturity. Depending on the climate, it blooms throughout summer into autumn. Its cone-shaped flowering heads are usually, but not always, purple in the wild. Its individual flowers (florets) within the flower head are hermaphroditic, having both male and female organs in each flower. It is pollinated by butterflies and bees. The alternate leaves, borne by a petiole from 0 to 17 cm, are oval to lanceolate, 5-30 x 5-12 cm; the margin is tightened to toothed.

The inflorescence is a capitulum, 7 to 15 cm in diameter, formed by a prominent domed central protuberance consisting of multiple small yellow florets. These are surrounded by a ring of pink or purple ligulate florets. The tubular florets are hermaphrodite while the ligular florets are sterile. The involucral bracts are linear to lanceolate. The plant prefers well-drained soils in full sun. The fruit is an achene, sought after by birds.

@spooniewitches had a great fact about animals so here’s a fun fact about plants!

The genus that the modern coneflower falls under is “Echinacea” which was named after the Greek word for hedgehog, “echinos” because the base of the flower is prickly!

So this is the hedgehog flower!
