Coneflower wallpaper in Pale Aqua

The Tennessee Coneflower, a member of the Echinacea family, is survivor of the first order. For decades the purple blossoms that dotted central Tennessee's rocky grasslands seemed to have disappeared, and it was assumed that the flower had gone extinct. But in 1968, a Vanderbilt University botanist named Elsie Quarterman stumbled upon it. Quarterman led a massive conservation effort, with partners including the Tennessee Department of Environment, and the flower flourished once again. The Tennessee Coneflower now thrives under the ongoing care of the Nature Conservancy, and receives a host of pollinators; butterflies such as the Pipevine Swallowtail, Buckeye and Great Spangled Fritillary, in addition to various native bees, are all regular visitors. 

Our design, Coneflower, owes its clustered layout and diminutive scale to Edna Boies Hopkins’ 1910-1913 woodcut jewel, Purple Asters.
