I've took a couple pictures of the gardens yesterday. Hopefully I have copied the correct link so that all can see. Enjoy

Does anyone know what this flower is? It reminds me of fireworks.

It is a type (but I don't know the actual name) of Bachelor Button. I also have a plant - new this year - with the same form, but with deep purple and white. Really unique. I bought it at Sunshine (?) gardens, in Evergreen on 74 and Meadow Dr.

That is centaurea montana. Common names include Perennial Bachelor Button and Mountain Cornflower. I have some too and I've noticed that if after the first flowering is over if you cut it back well it'll flower again.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
