Right now mine - the native are in full blazing bloom with a matching dark orange daylily - really lovely. They have reseeded for me so much I have to thin them out each spring. The colors do change a bit - some being darker to a light lavender. Also showing up after years and years are white ones. Fourteen years ago I collected white swan seeds from a friend but only came out the regular purple and then about two years ago white began appearing. Piegirl

My E. angustifolia started blooming a couple days ago, and all the purpureas are still in bud.

Someone a few years back gave me seeds she only called "colored coneflowers". I wintersowed them and got a few plants that I transplanted late in the season. Last summer, I was surprised to find a cantelope melon colored one and a clear yellow one! So maybe the hybrids do come true to type. Not sure what they started as, but they're beautiful. Hopefully, I'll have bigger plants this year to save seeds from.
