Asteraceae Herb for id
Nice shot !! … an new type of aster to me I am eager to know the name as like you i think its common name is sweet William No … Sweet William doesn’t have such campanulate petals as seen in flower around the margins This should be a garden cultivar of Centaurea, probably the “Imperial” series or “Florence” series. See this for example:
Bonenzle Yes … you are correct it also looks same to me from like you provided Thanks … i think we are near to idfied it … was near the target. It is Sweet but not William, which is Dianthus barbatus. This one is Sweet Sultan, Centaurea moschata. It is Sweet William. Sweet Sultan, as already indicated
Sweet William is a member of Caryophyllaceae Who is ” Sweet Sultan” ? Who knows, may be for King You are absolutely right. i was confused the sweet william is like the dianthus. Thanks for reminding me of sweet sultan …
