Perennial bachelor buttons
It’s too wet right now to go outside and find something blooming that looks nice enough to show you here. Only my fave photos get posted! Thought you’d like to see these pretty blue/purple flowers, a very sturdy grower and great cut flower. This perennial bachelor buttons or Centaurea montana (also called Mountain Bluet) was growing in my garden in May. I think they might be in the thistle family, and related to artichoke plants.

Awesome photo of the bachelor buttons, a nice addition to any garden.
Beautiful, striking flowers! Love the colour!
I love it, mostly because it is blue, and we don’t have them here as well.
