"Bumble Bee and Coneflowers" was created by Carol Morrissey. Her love of nature has had an enormous impact on her quilting. It propelled her from making traditional quilts to creating realistic images of flora and fauna. Carol shows you how to add details to objects (in this case, a bee) using paint and inks in Show 1908: Postcards and Photorealism.
should have been "coneflowers"
I adore the bee!
(and yes, Echinacea are called cornflowers :) )
But Gwen C. is correct, those are cone flowers. Corn flowers have a leaf structure somewhat similar to daffodils and the flowers are sort of bell-shaped with pointed petals. Both "cones" and "corns" are lovely.
