    I have, or had, as the case may be, a coneflower that just showed up among my seedlings, that had what I call petaloids-small "sub" petals attached to the tips of the flowers petals. I recently moved and brought the plant with me, but it has yet to bloom. It is a typical coneflower in every other respect. My name for it is "Little Sisters" and I hope to have a photo to share later this summer. Has anyone else seen this flower form?
