Green and Pink

This is a variety of echinacea called 'Green Envy' and for good reason. This flower starts out in various shades of green, but as the blooms mature, a halo of bright pink forms around the cone. It's a beautiful addition to a garden, where the showy blooms will attract butterflies and birds.
