This is another nice find I managed to shoot recently. Another one (after the last Illecebrum verticillatum) from the most recent trip. I didn't even to go look far. It was right there on the garden growing in the open space where nothing else grew.
Jasione montana
One of the common names is Blue Buttons which I think fits just perfectly. The colour is so amazing and quite unusual to see among all the yellow and white flowers. The one and only bush was easy to spot on the dry, sandy soil.
It can be found in the warmer parts of Europe on rather poor and sandy soil. It will often grow near the coast on rocks.
The flowers remind me garlic flowers. A cluster or tiny little flowers form a little ball (maybe 2 cm in diameter) at the end of a long stem. They start to bloom around March and will continue throughout the summer till around September.
The leaves are rather small and mainly at the base of the plant and lower part of the flower stems.
Did I mention I like this type of graphics?
I did :)

Wow, what a flower! Yes, it really looks like garlic, only slightly smaller. You have very beautiful graphics of this flower! Personally, I really liked ... 😁
Cute, isn't it? :)
Thanks for dropping by!
So cute. Maybe this type of plant will also grow in a tropical country.
That I don't know... I didn't read anything about it being found in tropics. Not the right climate I guess.
