CENTAUREA MONTANA
Fortunately for me this lovely old-fashioned cottage garden plant self-seeds itself around here and there in my garden. The deep blue to violet flowers with a thistle-like centre and slender petals is not only attractive to me but also to bees!

I love this plant. I have it in my garden as well and each year it is more splendid.
Beautiful!

You have a lovely blog, I feel so calm after visiting. I have just popped over from Sweet Tidings hope you dont mind me leaving a comment.
I typed this so calmly...
Louise, there is a very delicate lace-like appearance to this flower. I don't think I've ever seen this before. The two tones in it is quite striking.
I like this flower and, as you rightly say, so do the bees! xx
Hi Louise,
I have got this in my garden - it is a lovely colour.

How are your blackbirds doing? I have seen magpies on the neighbours Amelanchier tree.
