There's a bed of these plants at the college, and I have finally found a label for them, but no common name. Scabiosa bombivicerum.
The tallest of them are more than 5 feet tall.
The blossoms appear to darken slightly with age.
The entire plant is covered with this cottony substance.
There was more of it before the heavy rains.
You have to admit they are very pretty plants, and they do add vertical interest in the garden.
I think they must be annuals, because when I first saw them in the spring, they were already more than a foot across.
