Coneflower - White Swan

July 28, 2026

After a week of babysitting screens and deadlines, this bed of White Swan coneflowers asked nothing of me at all — just stood there quietly elegant, cones glowing amber, petals bowed low, in no hurry to be noticed. There's something steadying about a flower that doesn't perform for attention, that simply waits to be discovered on its own patient time. I didn't grow these overnight, and I didn't rush to see them either — just a quiet moment of calm, and a small, real sense of having gotten here.
