Cornflower


This photo is of a Cornflower that I found growing at the Reader Rock Garden on 23 July 2014. Not sure if this is Centaurea dealbata (Persian Cornflower)?
After a volunteer shift that day, I wasn't too far away from the Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area, where I was finally going to go on a botany walk with a few friends. Having been to that location several times before, I knew it was a short, easy, flat trail, and that I could go as far as I wanted and then turn back early if I was in too much pain, which is what I did. The main thing I wanted to see there were the Nodding / Musk Thistles, as they are my favourite species of Thistle. They are called a weed, but I love to see them.
With a couple of hours to "kill" till the botany walk, I spent them at the Reader Rock Garden, which was just a few minutes' drive away from the evening botany walk location.
