Persian Cornflower / Centaurea dealbata

Persian Cornflower / Centaurea dealbata
I checked the Friends of Reader Rock Garden website and I think I have the correct ID for this Cornflower that I photographed on 24 July 2013. They only have two species of this plant and it isn't the other one, but it is certainly a Centaurea species. I love the overlapping, fringed, spiny bracts of these flowers - my favourite part of the flower, I think.
