It does look like the seeds in the flower head are growing a plant but they are all green at the moment. If that is so and they live long enough to bloom before frost they may result in the picture you presented. There is more than one growth on the cone part of the flowers which are otherwise now dead. I cut back all of the other plants and those with this oddity these out of curiosity.

We will see

Thanks

Wow cool picture you found Weezie! I wonder though, the only reason I would grow purple cone flowers is because of the medicinal properties of the roots, I wonder if these double deckers would still have the medicinal properties??? Very cool looking flower...LOL I may have get some, just because.
