pincushion flowers

I was very happy to see my pincushion (scabiosa) flower starting to bloom!
I bought one plant last year and it self seeded lots of seedlings that grew through
most of the winter.

These were the very first two petals that I saw opening up.

And this is a close-up of the cute visitor that was on it.

In case you're wondering what it looks like, these two photos are the original plant,
photos taken last summer.


Definitely a new favorite.

    These flowers are truly stunning and quite unlike those I've seen so far in my travels around the world. Yes, New Zealand is on my list but then my list is really getting long......Perhaps I will see NZ only through your blog!

    Pincushions, I like them. Two springs ago purple ones bloomed in my yard. Nothing last year. Hopefully I'll remember to sprinkle seeds in early Spring.
