Despite what the name might sound like, echinacea is the name given to 9 species of a beautiful flower, belonging to the daisy family. Being native to America, it is mostly found blooming in eastern and central North America. It has beautiful purple petals and a cone shaped large seed head, which gives off a miniature hedgehog look.
