The cone in coneflower

 I have taken many wildflower photos on our trips and likely several of the purple coneflower (Echinacea). The purple part of the name is easy enough to understand, but I had never given much thought to why it is called a coneflower. I took this picture today and the cone shape is obvious. Earlier in the growing season the shape is not this obvious and I have been time traveling in the Fall only recently.
