Wild Scabious

I'm adding this in as a filler from a few days later but I'm seeing this beautiful wild flower every day when I walk the dogs. It seems to be much more widespread this year than I've seen before, and it is so very pretty, I couldn't leave it out.
It's one of my favourite flowers - been looking for a good background for it. This hay field is lovely - I did that walk from Hardwick to Voton today (didn't quite make it as far as Coton) - the wild flowers were great.

@judithg Is it just me or have the wild flowers gone bananas this year? I'm sure I've never seen so many.

It's amazing since they never get any water and the cracks in those fields are enormous. I think wild flowers like very poor soil though!

Perhaps because there hasn't been much rain the flowers haven't been smothered by growing grass do you think ? These are very pretty & would be quite dear to buy in a garden centre!

Simply beautiful!
