I do not know what these flowers are, so I will call them Mississippi flowers!


Always thankful for your lovely views and comments:)

Interesting flowers. I've never seen them...and I like your name for them!

I especially like them when they haven't quite opened, but they show the pink petals in the middle. Musk Thistle, by the way.
