This is a seed strain of echinacea that i started years back. The light form of these flowers is great and they hold high above the plant, so the wind keeps them bobbing around.

The name fits perfectly with the flower.

I think they are just adorable. I love your plant, with it's unusual petals and easy movement.

I am always surprised when seeds here yield something I didn't expect. I had an Echinacea volunteer last year that produced a flower that looks like E. Tiki Torch. It has returned nicely and has just started blooming again. Definitely a keeper.

And in another area, I had a Centaurea seedling, again a volunteer some 60 feet away from a Centaurea Alba, that bloomed a lavender purple.

You definitely have a keeper there too.
