Purple Coneflower Babies!

 
I have hundreds of these little guys popping up all over my flowerbeds!
(And the walkway, and the other terraces nearby).
 
I love Echinacea, but I also like having a little variety in my flowerbeds.
 
Last year I just ended up weeding out most of them.
This year I wised up and sent out an email to my church group.
The group you see in this picture has all been dug up and sent on their merry way now.
 
Whatever is left will get transplanted up to the slope.
They're supposed to do okay with clay soil and I wouldn't mind having them up there to break up the monotony of the weed grass.
 
I will probably leave the very smallest ones alone until next year, then dig them up and transplant them...or give them away.
Anyone in Eastern Washington that wants some Echinacea?
I'll save you some!
