Centauria pullata- Cabeza de pollo

            This is a companion photo to the one I recently posted of my wife shooting a white specimen of this flower.  Centaurea pullata is a flower that is only found in the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa. The flowers are pink or mauve, occasionally white.   It is very short, appearing to almost hug the ground. The leaves are rough-looking and hairy, similar to dandelion leaves. Centaurea is a genus of over 700 species of herbaceous thistle-like flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Many Centaurea species can become invasive weeds in regions where they are not native. Yet other species of Centaurea are endemics of a single island or valley, and some of these are endangered.  Common names for the genus are centory, starthistles, knapweeds and centaureas.  Sierra de Grazalema, Andalusia, Spain.
