Yellow Coneflowers

Yearning to please
Exuberantly alive
Lively, illuminating
Lovely
Offering intrigue
Wind driven

Cultural symbol
Offering hope
Nature’s answer
Enchanting mood elevator
Fascinating,
Lackadaisical
Outstanding
Wound healing, medicinal properties
Ecstasy
Radiant,
Serene, stimulating

Coneflower by Molly Fifield-Murray

Wild Bergamot

Wonderfully wild
Idyllic
Likable, Lyrical
Delightful

Bold, bee balm, horsemint
Enchanting, elegant
Glamorous
Ability to sooth
Monarda, mint like fragrance
Oregano-scented,
Tranquilizing
