和名は「瑠璃菊」、花言葉は「追憶🥲」です。

I love the sunflowers that reseed themselves. They are a hybrid of a mammoth variety (12 feet tall) and lemon queen (multiple heads of flowers). The tall, heavy flower heads cause many to uproot and fall over in high winds, but some plants manage to stay rooted and upright.
Background: rudbeckia hirta (black eyed susan) at 2 feet tall, and past that, the 8-10 foot tall heliopsis helianthoides (false sunflower)
Foreground: stokesia laevis (stoke's aster)

Stokesia, This has been a reliable bloomer year after year. Such an unusual flower, it is like two flowers in one. The outer petals, in a striking shade of purple, are called ray flowers. Each of the more than twenty fans have five teeth. As you move inward, you find a display of what are called disk flowers, tubular arrays of vertical blooms in the same shade of purple, topped by a criss-cross of white stamens. Moving inward still you find a startling bright white center core, which reflects the light so well it looks as if it is shining. And yet a single plant produces dozens of these blooms at once lasting through midsummer.
The plant is named after the eighteenth-century English physician Jonathan Stokes who discovered and promoted digitalis or foxgloves as a remedy for heart related ailments.
In the garden Stokesia sits next to a variety of Coreopsis called Route 66. It is a bright yellow fan flower with four teeth per fan surrounding a bright orange center.
You wouldn’t think purple and yellow work well together but somehow the mix is pleasing to the eye.
Both of these plants attract tiny black flying insects, though butterflies and bees occasionally attempt a landing and then quickly move on.
