      Do you grow them, Cathy? – I can’t recall.

        Hi Sheryl. Yes, I have Scabiosa ochroleuca – a creamy white one, which does far too well in my garden and has to be pulled up frequently to stop it getting the upper hand. The insects adore it though! I also put in a blue Scabiosa columbaria this spring, but it isn’t doing well…. perhaps it will seed itself and do better next year. I expect the drought didn’t help. If it doesn’t recover I’ll try this caucasica one, as it is very pretty. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I love scabiosa, also its bigger cousin Knautia macedonica.

      Knautia macedonica is so pretty; I wish it were hardier so I could grow it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have these flowers in my garden. I am delighted to know that they are called pincushion flowers. Such an apt name.
