Centaurea montana

I love the flower on these but dislike the plant...if that makes sense.

nice colours

I do know what you mean P/nel - I've dug out loads of this over the years!

Thanks Paul!

Yes pimpernel I know what you mean, I love that flower and the colour. Didn't know their name though, thanks meanie.

stunning lovely colours:))))

i like the colour of it Meanie, but a bit to invasive for me...

I dug out loads last year and moved them ,I'll probably be moving them again next year !

Thanks guys!

I do like it, but it certainly needs an eye keeping on it!

I think anything that can pop up randomly elsewhere in our gardens is rather fab!! I have these springing up all over and I love them, so do the bees, which is more important.

I have had a pot of them for a few years..paler flowers and i've never found them growing anywhere else??

Are these cornflowers, but the tall one? The leave tend to go a bit mouldy and drop off but the flowers are nice

Grandmage - you haven't seen my new garden then!! It's a living advert for avoiding self seeders!

Moti - are yours almost sky blue? I've seen them in someones garden somewhere.

That's the one Sheilar.

Very fond of these even though they seed around, easy to get rid of though.

My thoughts exactly!
