knapweed

The first 2 flowers. A lovely plant and it’s full of buds. The bees and butterflies love it and the birds eat the seeds. So pretty too. I got stuff done in the garden today. Finally planted the Fraser pine that we took to Stewart last Christmas. Took me ages to get it out of the plastic bucket it’d been grown in - had to snip the tough plastic with secateurs and peel it off in a spiral. And I sorted out the patio.
