Bachelor’s Buttons

batchelors buttons 008

There’s no nature in the home this week but I like my weekly look around the garden so here we are.  I’m not sure of the ‘proper’ name for these flowers but Dad always called them bachelor’s buttons, they are sweet little puffs of yellow. I planted all my bargains the other day, let’s hope they grow in this crazy mixed up weather.
