Friday Eye Candy courtesy of northern Minnesota wildflowers again.
Spotted knapweed. (I think I took a picture of this last year, but didn’t know its name then.)
Centaurea species (related to Bachelor’s Button/cornflower). Apparently a Bad Thing despite its prettiness. Ah well, I promise I didn’t spread any seeds….

In the imaginary country fair in my mind you just won a blue ribbon of awesome blogginess! Come and get it!
Oh and hat with no name news is shortly forthcoming
