Purple vain

Amazingly different from the shot in evening light, this enhances the purpleness of this flower of simplicity. Growing in so many places, weedlike among the grass and poppies.

  Hi Karin! Thanks for your comment again, miss. It was a long exposure of 4 seconds to compensate with low light. I wanted to shoot 100iso to capture the most detail. This would generate movement, so I picked a bouquet of wild flowers for my wife, so I could shoot it in the living room (with no wind, so no movement) and make a good impression too;) Posted 13 years ago

This doesn't look like a Centaurea montana, but I am not sure which species it is.

The centaura jacea

''Centaurea jacea'', brown knapweed or brownray knapweed, is a species of herbaceous perennial plants in the genus ''Centaurea'' native to dry meadows and open woodland throughout Europe. It grows to 10–80 centimetres tall, and flowers mainly from June to September.

In Britain and America, it is often found as a hybrid of black knapweed, ''Centaurea nigra''. Unlike the black knapweed, the flower heads always look as if they are rayed, forming a more open star rather than a brush-like.. more
