I love cone flowers. They bloom forever, are very easy to grow, smell wonderful, and attract all kinds of butterflies and insects. Leave the heads on after they bloom and the goldfinches love them or cut them for longer bloom season.
This carpenter ant colony was in my plum tree which we lost to the storm. Between the woodpecker and the ants it didn't stand a chance.

I love coneflowers too and am drawn to shooting them. Unfortunately, of all I've taken, none are as good as yours.

these are beautiful julie!!! :) like the old tree with the bluish ants too. it's too bad about losing the plum tree, though...especially on top of your home.
