| I've been waiting two years to find out what this is growing in a pot. I have no idea if I planted some seeds or if it's a volunteer. Here's what the basal rosette looked like last year. This year it looks like its about to flower. The leaves are very deeply lobed.   May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| Scabiosa ochroleuca, maybe. |

| That was my first thought also. Not absolutely sure. Blooms will tell. |

| I think it's starting to look more like you're right. Here's what a bud looks like now. I'll keep you posted.  May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| First flower opened and it appears to confirm your ID, @janinilulu and @quercusnut. I'll go ahead and close this thread as solved, unless there is a new ID or disagreement.  May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| Never mind. : ) Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| Beautiful. Keep an eye out for self-sown seedlings. It's not a heavy reseeder for me. I'm not even sure I have any left. I hope so. It's very nice plant to have. |
