This is a cute dainty new perennial to my flower bed this year. I think it's nicknamed pincushion flower. I lost my description card but found this online:
Scabiosa Scabiosa
Also known as pincushion flowers, Scabiosa is an interesting flower with a pincushion-like center and an outer layer of petals.This summer bloomer can be found most often in shades of blue, white and purple.
My ever favorite Hens 'n Chicks (Succulents)
A weed that I photographed with blue flowers. Even a bothersome weed can be pretty.
Flowers are so tiny, but the camera made them pop.
Always a favorite shot...up under.
I put this one in a frame that you can find for free at Shabby Blogs.
If you've never checked them out. Lots of goodies.
Now it's your turn for sharing what you've been photographing, a digital scrapbooking of a favorite photo, or a photo that you've turned into photo art. Please share your photography and try to visit other photographer enthusiasts.

ReplyDeleteweed or not it is pretty. I love the under shot - I have a few of those that I've taken too. And I love the framing from Shaby blogs. I will have to check them out. Happy Tuesday and many thanks again for the link.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I was curious and I found the name of the weed as well. There are so many names! Alehoof, tunhoof, catsfoot, gill-over-the-ground, ground-ivy, creeping jenny...
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.
I've seen those same "weeds" and agree that they are beautiful and worthy of photographing!
