Field of coneflowers, watercolor. These beautiful pink flowers with heavily mounded spiky orange centers sit high atop tall stems and are cultivated in gardens to provide color and attract butterflies, birds and bees. Also known as Echinacea, the flowers were used as an antidote to treat snakebites and other venomous bites by Native Americans, and in England, the plant was once used to cure syphilis and rabies.
