SCABIOSA 
Mouring Bride or Pincushion Flower

of some varieties are light in color and stick out in 
contrast to the petals so that they resemble pins 
stuck in a cushion. The deep black color of one 
variety has caused it to be called Mourning Bride. 
Scabiosa are easy to grow anywhere. Bloom from 
midsummer until frost if flowers are not allowed 
to go to seed. Prized for cutting. Annual.
