Jose I agree with that too. I have a similar spotting of flowers . I am trying to find it. When they are younger ,they seem have a deeper purple.

Yes I agree with the fact that it belongs to cephalaria sp
but I wondered if there could be different colored cephalaria leucanta (maybe depending on the stage of development)
