This flower is known as Scabiosa or more commonly a Pincushion flower.
I thought mine had died out, but to my surprise several of these lovely flowers started coming up in my front flower bed this year. The petal pattern is lovely when viewed from above isn’t it?
I love the the way the color is vibrant and really pops.
hello from a fellow wordless wednesday-er (and, it seems, fellow canadian)!
interesting picture. looks like a fractal.
Beautiful close-up, details and colors!
It’s shots like this that really cause us to stop and look around occasionally, it’s simply amazing as to what can pass us by most of the time.
Beautiful! I don’t think I’ve ever see a flower quite like it! Amazing photography, love the blurred out background, it really makes the flower stand out.
Now I really need to take a closer look………
This is such a great shot! I love it!
Wow absolutely beautiful! You are a wonderful photographer (I assume you took the picture if they were in your flower bed.)
