Hello Betty
This is a rather fierce looking plant, no doubt it helps to ward off attacks by sheep and goats.
I quite like your composition and colours. Your narrow DOF seems focussed on the spiines, making the flower appear even more dangerous :)
Best regards
Silke

It is Centaurea procurrens. Ori

Hello Betty, you are showing us some interesting new plants from Lebanon. That is what TN is so good about - we can learn so much from photos posted of the native plants from other countries. Thank you,
Janice
