This weeks Sunday Stills Challenge was Macro.
This is a Armenian Basket Flower or Centaurea macrocephala.
From start to finish.
See it looks like a basket.
Then the basket blooms.
This plant is a hardy perennial in Minnesota. It thrives in my wild gardens:)
A new flower for me, very nice, great macro shots.

ReplyDeleteA long time ago, I had one of these to pop up in my garden and had no idea what it was! Your photos are great and really show off the "basket." Mildred
