Mountain Cornflower (Centaurea montana)

A walk in our local park yesterday displayed some nice summer flowers. Here is a close up of the Mountain Cornflower head. We have these in our garden too but our friendly squirrel ate all the heads.

Enjoy full screen.

Beautiful. Ah, those squirrels, I wish they weren´t so cute... and left your flowers to bloom!

Herb Riddle replied to Eva Lewitus:

Cute but ruthless. They have eaten other flower-heads too. They are not supposed to. We have two regular squirrels now that are inseparable -maybe pair or simply siblings.

Such a beautiful looking flower Herb...............and a magnificent close up shot. The detail is excellent and I like the out-of-focus green leaves in the background.

I used to use the Nikon 105mm macro lens.........I sometimes wish I'd kept it for use with an adaptor on my Olympus kit.
