Centaurea montana
A member of the knapweed family, it blossoms with distinct flower heads on a single stalk. Common weed in sunny gardens. Inedible but once used for medicinal purposes. Blooms May to August.
Sunny areas, drought tolerant and does not like wet environments
Found in my friends' backyard while having a BBQ - testing out the mobile app again!
