There is nothing quite like a bunch of pretty flowers to put you in a good mood for the start of a new week
I think they got some awfully bad luck on the naming front though; Scabious (Scabiosa) does not do these beautiful flowers justice! Their affectionate nickname is Pincushion Flower, which is far more appropriate
Wishing a Happy Labor Day to my lovely American friends and readers!

Thank you for your Labor Day wishes, Morwenna!
I do like the flowers. I wonder who decided on the name for them. I also like the crock you have holding them.
Happy September to you!

Aren't they beautiful. There are only a few blue flowers among my faves but those would definitely be on the list. No clue if they have them here. Really amazing how the little buds in the center burst into teeny inner flowers. Happy Fall!
