Another new special of flower to me...........I love the look of the flower heads and there's an interesting looking bug on one of them too. The leaves seem to have a bit of a caterpillar problem though :-)

Thanks, Keith. Almost every plant in Mississippi has its personal caterpillar. I was hoping somebody would notice the bug. I haven't tried to identify it.

Some variety of Shield Bug I think.

I think that's right, Keith.
