Description
Some things will never change. Some things will always be the same. Lean
down your ear upon the earth, and listen.
~ Thomas Wolfe [fr A Stone, A Leaf, A Door]

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 garden favorite, it will bloom all summer long, attracting butterflies to the garden.

Looking close into its "pincushion" centre, the natural light provided a quiet, vintage-like background for this bloom .... unedited; uncropped ... nature in all its splendour :)
