I think this flower looks like a pineapple in drag. Fabulous!
I didn't find the part I wanted for my weed trimmer after going to two of our local hardware stores yesterday. Ken's going out later and will stop at a third, but I'm not hopeful. I'll have to buy the part on the internet, I think.
"I think this flower looks like a pineapple in drag. Fabulous!" - best line of the day (so far); put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteThat's knapweed - knap meaning "head" (knopf, in German). Close up it looks ready for Rio carnaval. Tim always leaves the knapweed plants when he mows the grass. Makes for an odd-shaped lawn, but very colourful!
ReplyDeletePerfect flower.Is it a thistle?
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie - I believe its more Priscilla of the desert. Then what would I know - I forget the movie.
ReplyDeleteThis flower could have starred at Finocchio's.
ReplyDeleteHa! Good one, Walt :)

ReplyDeleteI'll never look at a Knapweed in the same way ever again!!

Contrary to Pauline's remark...
I mow round some of them...
certainly not all, and usually ones that I can leave near the edges....
a lot of insects like them, so there is a double benefit!!
