ECHINACEA PALLIDA DAISY FAMILY (PALE PURPLE CONEFLOWER) Echinacea species are drought-tolerant perennial flowering plants. While in the daisy family they grow up to 140cm. The leaves and the lower stem leaves have petioles and as the leaves progress up the stem the petioles often are shorter in length.

IRIS PSEUDACORUS IRIS (IRIS FAMILY) The juice is sometimes used as a removal of freckles from the skin. The juice of the fresh roots, helps in dropsy not moisture-loving - ordinary border soil, well cultivated, suits it well and the heavy clay soils are more or less inimical to its growth. If the best results are to be obtained, deep and firtle beds should be prepared for these Irises, Although they may be moved at any time of the year, April is the best month. They will not flower the same year, but they will during the summer, if attended to, become sufficiently strong to bloom freely the succeeding year. Winter is the worst time to move them, as in heavy soil, the plants often remain dormant without forming a single root-fibre until the spring. But they are easily increased in spring by dividing the rootstocks and replanting and watering into rich soil. http://nbii-nin.ciesin.columbia.edu/ipane/icat/browse.do?specieid=59
