Echinacea, also known as the purple coneflower, is a type of flower that grows in places with lots of sun. It has large, colorful petals that come in shades of pink, purple, red, and orange. The center of the flower is a big, puffy cone shape that looks a bit like a sea urchin, which is why its name sounds a bit like "sea-chinacea"!

These flowers are not just beautiful, but they're also brave little fighters. Echinacea flowers have been used for a long time to help our bodies feel better when we're not feeling our best. They're like little medicine flowers!

Did you know that bees and butterflies love Echinacea flowers too? They visit these flowers to sip on their nectar, which is a sweet liquid that the flowers make. The flowers are happy to share their nectar because when the bees and butterflies move from one flower to another, they help to spread the pollen, which helps the flowers grow and make more baby flowers.

Echinacea flowers are also very tough. They can grow in different kinds of soil and they don't mind hot weather or dry weather. They just keep on blooming and looking pretty all summer long. Today we will learn how to draw an Echinacea flower.
