I saw it today , but at $ 29.95 I will wait for price to drop. Nice but not that nice.

Echinacea Sombrero™ Adobe Orange is very pretty. I will be watching for a lower price too. LOL.

It seems that the Sombrero series is almost only sourced to big box stores although some of my local nurseries have had a few this year but not the newest ones.

I searched his name. He's the first one that comes up under Marco van Noort. I just sent a friend request and he accepted. He posts awesome photos.

Here's the quilled pink double. It's not named yet.

Bob, I don't want to bog the forum down with too many pictures at once so I'll start with these and if it's too many then just tell me and I'll remove some of them. Later, in a new thread I'll add a few more.
