Commonly found in woodlands and fairly abundant in local wilderness areas of Illinois, Yellow Coneflowers are a bright and cheerful flowering plant easily recognized by a sunflower or daisy-like petal configuration. Under the right conditions, yellow Echinacea flowers thrive in the wild and may be found together in large clumps which stand out on the green backdrop of forests and bush trails.

Found growing in the wild and gardens alike, Echinacea is known for its colorful blooms with daisy-like characteristics. Purple coneflowers are fairly common and make an excellent subject for practicing close-up macro photography on the flower head. Occasionally, during pollination season,  cone flowers also provide the chance to image insects working their magic at close range.
