Love this photo series! Great way to document such a pretty plant. I have Scabiosa caucasica ‘Perfecta’ in my garden – one of the blooms just opened this week and I’m waiting on the others.
They have bigger petals don’t they? How lovely. What colour is it? I have had blue and deep red scabious before, but none have remained except for this one.
What a great idea! Without my own garden, I’m never quite sure whether what I’m seeing now is the same plant as the one from two weeks ago. Look forward to the next in the series.
Captured beautifully. So delicate touch you want it, and crawl, and daruf sit, look at the natural world from a different Perpektive, as a little elf. Your pictures take me on a journey in my imagination ….. thank you. Best wishes, Louise-Lotte
This was the same flower (I think!) in each picture, so the background included the scabious greenery and a red ground-cover rose. The wild ones near us are all purply pink.
Words and Herbs 
Love this time sequence!
Thanks Gunta!
Love this Scabiosa as it transitions.
This was one of the first buds/flowers. I have to watch those seedheads though as they spread themselves all over the garden!
The name is a little creepy to me but a beautiful plant. How long did this sequence take to film?
Yes, it’s a shame they don’t have a more attractive name! I just checked and it took eleven days! (July 1st to 11th)
A wonderful illustration of the passing of time. Brilliant!
Thanks Robin. It’s interesting to take just one flower and observe it intensely… I find I miss so much that is going on in my garden!
Such a beautiful flower and a great idea!

Thanks Elaine. Why not try it out?! …I’ve got another “time” series to post tomorrow.
I like this flower – modest but very lovely. I think butterflies love it…
A wonderful time sequence with perfect pictures!
The butterflies really do love it!
Thank you Elisabeth. 😀

Yes, the petals are quite a bit larger, in a sky blue colour. I love it.

Yes, things can change so quickly, especially if the weather is extremely hot or wet or windy…. all of which we’ve had recently!
wonderful. Wenn wir so schön altern könnten.:) Beautiful sunday!
Danke Uta. Wünsche ich Dir auch!
Beautiful…you always have the most beautiful pictures, love the time span
Thank you!
Beautiful
The way the scabious sways prettily in the wind can sadly not be captured, but the beauty of each flower can – when there’s no wind!
Beautiful yes I try to catch my blooms at times in motion and can never get camera to see what I see in a beautiful sway 😦

Thank you Louise-Lotte. Such a lovely comment! 😀
A wonderful job, Cathy! You even got similar backgrounds in all the shots. I have had blue, but not white.
This was the same flower (I think!) in each picture, so the background included the scabious greenery and a red ground-cover rose. The wild ones near us are all purply pink.
Your photos are very impressive! The flower is always in the same place. It looks as if these pictures were taken just seconds after each other.
Thanks Simone! (Must be magic!) 😉
A lovely flower that seeds itself all over my front garden…I love the color and your photos are so wonderful!
Thanks Donna! Mine seeds itself all over my back garden! 😀
Great idea Cathy! 🙂
Thanks Strawberryindigo!
