I was walking in the neighborhood last Thurs. The blossoms on the left I saw were like a green cone flower....but it had some weird foliage growing out of the top of it. First of all the color was green. I am much more familiar, with pink, yellow or coral/orange cultivars. If I took a picture of the flower oin the stalk it would have been too monochromatic and not enough negative space. The best I could tell from an internet search and response on the Internet is that the plant might be "Green Envy" coneflower. The native Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpura) is the image on the right. The image on the left has the flowers in a small vase. In the forefront of the image is a green looking cone flower with very little projections noted in the cone head, but if you look at the petals you may see some slight pink in the center. Theses petals do not hang down, nor are the as close together as the purple coneflower. The depth of field is shallow, so, it was difficult to get a sharp image of the foliage in back but you can defiintely see it has projections not normally associated with the coneflower.
