Hey guys,
There is a load of this stuff in the garden next door and I have taken quite a few pictures of it this week. Guess what, I don,t know the name either !!!!.
PS
Your pic is better than any of mine so I will have to keep practicing. Will get the hang of this photography lark eventually.
Cheers

Identified! it is Centaurea Montana, English common names are amongst others perennial cornflower or knapweed. ID courtesy of UK Gardening Forum - I'm a member there too now!
