Think you've told them that they are very beautiful and therefore have blushes on their cheeks, Kathy, ☺ .
Very special colors indeed!

No, it certainly isn't. In my career as a photographer for the State of North Dakota, I traveled all over the state, and shot many coneflowers. I have seen the very rare brown coneflower but not orange. I wonder if this is a variation on that one? It's quite beautiful. Pulling up a complete plant, cutting off a piece of the large central white root, peeling away that white covering, and placing the remaining black root interior in one's mouth, against a spot where a tooth or gum may be aching, is how the Indians of the distant past used to treat tooth pain. If you're ever out in the boonies (hiking, camping, etc.) and have a toothache, with no chance to get to a dentist, the coneflower is a natural novocaine.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
