Genus Echinacea

What we are looking at now is the seed head of a wild plant that grows in my plantation. This particular plant has a very large population in my area. It can grow very quickly and spread in very large numbers. Many people dislike this plant because it tends to make the surroundings messy, so it is often considered a weed by many people, especially farmers.This plant also has a rather hard stem, making it very difficult to clear away. It can remain standing upright even after we spray it with herbicide, and the best option is to spray it first and then cut it down.

However, now let's talk about the unique features of its flowers. When they are still young, the flowers are bright green and look similar to their leaves. However, when they mature or dry out, these flowers turn black. Unlike most other flowers, which fall off when they wilt, this particular flower remains firmly attached to its stem.It is black and has a rather hard texture, while the structure that looks like a collection of tiny thorns is actually a cluster of developing seeds, or the hardened central part of the flower.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of the seed head here .
