Finally, I have figured out what this tall, beautiful, and intriguing flower is! It's Basket Flower (Centaurea Americana).
I'm sure I planted it from seed along with hundreds of other wildflower seeds that I threw out this past fall. I have all sorts of things popping up, not knowing if they are going to turn into flowers or a weed that will become invasive. So, I decided to let ride...leaving it to grow larger, and larger to almost five feet tall. Thank goodness it turned out to be this stunning beauty!
I hope the rest of the unknown plants I am letting grow turn out this well.

That's so beautiful-and unusual. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana! I'll try to save some seeds and bring them to one of the Go Gos.
DeleteLucky you. It's a beautiful flower. I had one of these once and never again. A deer must have chomped it off. I think Bob Poole has lots of these. Save me a few seeds if it matures, please.
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny! I will definitely try to save you some seeds.
