Common & Greater Knapweed, Centaurea nigra & Centrauria scabiosa are blooming lovely on the Downs at the moment. The following pictures were taken on Wolstonbury hill today.
Common Knapweed, Centrauria nigra is abundant now.
The Greater Knapweed, Centrauria scabiosa is more spectacular however and is a food source for butterflies.
Isn't that a lovely flower?
