RE: Photographs of Ms. Echinacea - The Colourful Flower In My Room
You've reminded me, I still need to plant some Echinacea seeds here.

Do you use the flowers/leaves for anything? I found an article on an easy way to make tincture and would like to try it out :D
I haven't gotten around to growing any yet. I was wondering about making teas from them. I only know they're supposed to be good for the immune system.
That's the benefit I'm aware of too. My ex-wife was a fan and we'd take echinacea tincture when we felt a cold coming on. The article I looked at says that fresh echinacea is more potent, so I guess tea from fresh(ly dried :) flowers/leaves would be the thing to try. I've had these jars sitting for a year or so now, might try making some tea :D
