    Sorry its blurry, I took this today while running out to my car to head to work, and it was a bit breezy. This scabiosa has bloomed since I planted it earlier this year, the neighboring scabiosa quit some time back lol

    Those are great little plants. I have one out front that is in it's third year with me. Even made it through the ice and snow of two winters ago.

    Hey Bip- I was just noticing my 2 Scabiosa today. They are still green and the blue one was still blooming until a week or so ago. I like this plant, they are fun. I do notice that they tend to heave up when the ground freezes, so I always mulch them good for winter.
