Name that flower

[JohnN]

There are a lot of these near the Lake Sumter cottages for the previews.
There are bush daisies near them , but these are blue. Mrs JohnN calls 'em a bluish-purple bush daisy, but we know it's not.

Any thoughts?

Is it cone flower? Echinecea?

is it Plumbago?

[graciegirl]

is it Plumbago?

Are you pulling our leg again 07? Plumbago? Is that a Poincettia with arthritis????

[villages07]

Now, Gracie, if I had called it the Lumbago Tree you woulda known it was a bad joke. :boxing2:

But, alas, Plumbago is for real and a common flowering plant in this area.
