Description
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
~ Mahatma Ghandi
* ------------------- *
Pincushion Flower (Butterfly Blue)
Scabiosa Caucasia
Family : Honeysuckle
Scabiosa may not be the prettiest sounding name for this gentle plant of old fashioned garden charm; it is thus named a long time ago because of its use in treating scabies.
A perennial favorite, it will bloom all summer long, attracting butterflies to the garden.

The original, unretouched image was posted as Just A Little Old-Fashioned. I reworked it into a few versions of soft pink pastels, some lighter,some darker (which I may possibly upload over time) - this is one of them. Captured closer in to its "pincushion" centre, a quiet, vintage-like look for this ...old-fashioned :) ... bloom.
