@quietpurplehaze I have been.wondering if it's necessary to reply on each comment. It can keep one quite busy. I am scared that people will think I am rude If I do not comment on everything.
These flowers are always so photogenic......I have some pink ones which I love but your green ones are particularly lovely.....must see if I can get this variety for my garden.
Found it .
Astrantia is a genus of herbaceous plants in the family Apiaceae, endemic to Central, Eastern and Southern Europe and the Caucasus.The Genus name comes from the Greek word for star in reference to the star-like quality of the flower heads. There are 8 or 9 species, which have aromatic roots, palmate leaves, and decorative flowers. They are commonly known as great masterwort, which may be confused with masterwort, Peucedanum ostruthium.
