These photographs were taken last November and I have only just discovered their origin, common name, and botanical name!
They spring from Eurasia, called Pincushion flowers (Scabiosa atropurpurea) and are related to the teasel family.
We found them growing happily in grass verges as well as at this camping spot. They come in an amazing variety of colours from deep almost black purple through to pale pink and the occasional white flower.
