coneflowers...

coneflowers..., a photo by credd on Flickr.

my coneflowers are looking rough this year.
the spiders have built webs...
the cucumber beetles are exploring...
and last week i saw some striped, caterpillar/worm bug on them.

i don't know if it'll do any good...
but i'll give them some food this evening.

i kind of want to see the caterpillar thing again...
because it had pretty cool stripes.

i'll be in the right mind-set this time..
and ready to photograph it...
vs. shrieking in fear like i did last week.
