    Hi carolyns. That plant is a Scabious.

    Tee hee nutcutlet - well I think it is but I'm happy to be put right. It just looks like Sheep's Bit Scabious to me. But its a long, long time since I did any field courses.

    I'm not sure about Scabious, I think it could be a Didiscus. Mine have leaves like that.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
