| Knapweed Centaurea nigra,..under my dog's nose. |
|
| The flower in the bouquet looks more like Centaurea scabiosa to me (Greater Knapweed) than C nigra (Common Knapweed) It has longer ray florets than C nigra. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Centaurea scabiosa.

| Yes! Knapweed. Thank you SO much, I've been wracking my brain and will write it down now. Last night I suddenly came up with "Snotweed"!! lol |
|
| Schoolhouse, I think "Snotweed" probably only blooms during allergy season. |
