Knautia arvensis

Very pretty...

This is the field scabious, it is nice.

Tried growing scabious once and not successful...
...don't know where things went wrong !

Think of how they grow in the wild, Terra - in grass so strong competition for nutrients, dry, well drained. Perhaps you were too kind to them.

I am always too kind to plants in pots...
... I give them too much water :o(

You are right....I probably gave my Scabious a life of luxury to which it was not accustomed......

lol.

Beautiful pastel colours and very pretty flower

oh what a little beauty Wagger ..looks so delicate

Thank you, Morgana and Deida.

Your welcome

Thats a lovely one, so lucky yours are still in flower.

This was a little waif and stray I found in the shadiest, driest part of the garden. I've dug it up to rehome it - if it survives.

Good luck with orphan Annie..........
