Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Centaurea montana

Oops, I'm back - forgot that I was uploading my photos. Can you believe that I have FINALLY got the marzipan/almond paste (bought) on to my Christmas/dark fruit cake (bought) and roughly iced it. It's 8th January! Next year, perhaps I'd better get this done before any of the Bird Counts start, LOL. Trouble is, then I will have eaten the cake way before Christmas. What I really need to do is give up Christmas cake, period, LOL!!! Anyway, this pretty plant was growing at the Reader Rock Garden. I know the wild plant is called Spotted Knapweed, but the one in my photo is presumably a garden variety. Doug??? Later: thanks, Doug: "It is Centaurea montana, 'Mountain Bluet'."
