It's a psychedelic art! :)
ReplyDeleteI have such cornflowers too. They look very nice in a density.
They do, Dewberry and the bees love them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous colour. I don't know what happened to my cornflower, it's disappeared. Perhaps it got dug out by mistake.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that you have managed to lose it, Jo mine seem indestructible
DeleteI'm still waiting for mine to flower. The stalks are waving in the breeze though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will happen soon, Jo Just needs a bit of the yellow shiny stuff!
DeleteI've seen cornflowers before but never this type...they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perennial cornflower, Leanan also known as centaurea montana.
DeleteMine are also flowering at the moment, very good effects though Sue
ReplyDeleteThank you, flowerlady I enjoy messing about with images.
DeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be your sort of thing, Mark
DeleteLovely pics. These are Centaurea montana, if I'm not mistaken. Mine pop up all over the place and have to be thinned out in June. They also tend to succumb to powdery mildew by late summer but they're wonderful for bees.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct, Jules. Mine also end up getting mildew after flowering and sprawl out leaving a bare centre to the plant. At this point I cut off all the stems except any new ones coming from the middle and the plant starts all over again to produce a second flush of flowers.
DeleteSuch a beautiful art! The real flower is beautiful too! You realy have green and art fingers!
ReplyDeleteThank you Malar, Nature is a work of art in itself isn't it?
DeleteSo pretty Sue! I sowed cornflower seedlings in pots, but as soon as I took the cloches off the snails got to them :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame Paula - were they the annual type
DeleteWhat a visual feat! Brilliant!xxxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it - I have used one of the edited images as a birthday card.
DeleteVery pretty flowers, and the vibrant photo images at the end are very artistic indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelli. The shape of an individual flower is amazing
