Purple Coneflower

April 7, 1805

image: Purple Coneflower

I found a new flower today while I was exploring around the fort.  I named it the Purple Coneflower.  It has a tall 18-24 inch harry stem that leads up to a dark bristley copper shaded cone shape center.  Protruding from the center are long soft pinkish/purplish peddles which droop down.  The plant has long and pointy leaves covered with stiff hairs that feel rough to he touch.
