Lula, This is a very pretty plant. At this time of year, I too like to forage wildflowers from the side of the road and include them in flower arrangements for the house. -Jean

Great shots! And I'm glad to know that Knautia work well as cut flowers.

I just realized Knautia would be so pretty in my garden here -- inspiration from your pictures. I wonder if it grows easily from seed?

Cindy, the flowers come from the meadows surrounding my house, but I learned that if treated as annual you can get seeds and sow them as perennials. I am trying myself this autumn, which here is another "spring season"
