Nina’s Echinacea angustifolia seedhead webpage

Hello! I have created a webpage that displays the different parts of an Echinacea angustifolia seedhead. It is available at: https://echinaceaproject.org/background/our-study-species/echinacea-seedheads/. The page defines the parts of a seedhead and many of the types of chaff found while cleaning heads, with pictures!

Hello, I’m Nina!

Hi, I’m Nina, and I’m a student at the Illinois Math and Science Academy that will be working with the Echinacea Project through the 2015/2016 academic year. I will be conducting a competition experiment between Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea. In the past, I’ve been an intern with Plants of Concern, volunteering at Volo Bog State Natural Area and collecting data on various threatened and endangered species. I’m very excited to start my project here!
