@Toriroo, @AshishNimkar, thanks for all your help. In the end the 'artistic' shallow depth of field photography made it hard te check details, but I'm rather sure it has to be knapweed.
Jut checked...Genus website...You will find there..Centaurea pullatahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centaurea
@AshishNimkar I find that hard to believe since the Centaurea cyanus should be really blue like: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/552....I'll do some more research, thanks!
Centaurea cyanus
Anyone, could this be Ragged Robin (Silene flos-cuculi). The other leafs look similar.
Great color
@Toriroo, it's not Scabiosa since that has kind of 'heart' shaped leave where this one had long and thin leaves. I'll keep on looking.Thanks anyway. Sebastiaan
Pretty photo!
Thanks, I'll check it out.
It might be Scabiosa
