Did you know?
The coneflower—echinacea—is a native North American prairie wildflower beloved by pollinators and herbalists alike. Its distinctive drooping petals and spiky golden disk florets make it instantly recognizable in gardens from summer through fall. The name 'echinacea' comes from the Greek word for hedgehog, echinos, a reference to the sharp, bristly center cone that persists long after petals fade, providing seeds for birds and architectural interest to winter gardens.

Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a single echinacea in soft pastel sunrise tones—pale pink and cream petals radiating downward from a rich golden-brown center. The 123×123 stitch count provides an intimate, single-bloom composition on 14-count Aida, worked in 27 DMC colors that blend warm peachy and cool mauve undertones across the background. Intermediate stitchers will appreciate the gentle color transitions and textured center detail, making this a meditative project that works equally well framed as botanical art or stitched into a small pillow.
