I hope someone can help me ID this plant. I lost the tag. The blooms finally opened.

Centaurea of some kind?

@janinilulu
It looks like you are right about it being some kind of Centaurea. I've gone through the database, but don't find one that matches mine. I posted updated photos in the first post.

Thanks for the update. With that foliage and such distinct bracts below the flower head, I could not think of anything else it could be.

I just wish I could figure out which one it is.

That sure looks like it, Tofi.

I finally found the name of this plant. I got it from Wrightman Alpines. Sold under the name of Centaurea bagadensis, correct name is Psephellus bagadensis. I am loving this plant. Thank you all for your help.
