My Favorite Flower


This is my favorite flower in my backyard. Its different looking which makes it interesting. I planted it about 3 years ago when I first moved in to my house. For the life of me though I cannot remember what type of flower it is.

  1. I think this is similar to a flower I had in another yard a while back - in the Centaurea family, maybe a "white mountain bluet". If that's the case, it is a perennial that spreads by rhizomes and also self-seeds. I like it's daintiness.

  2. Thats what it is!! Thanks. It definitely is a spreader! Its moved itself about 4 feet from where it was planted orginally. I just like it to much to want to remove it.

  3. I was going thru a stack of my garden magazines from 1999 and came across a photo and column about your plant. If you have an email, I'd be glad to send it to you.
