Flower from the Barbados

Barbados Bachelor's Button is a very pretty flower, but it has become invasive in my garden. The tiny seeds get dispersed by the wind, and you see a wee little plantlet coming up bravely from between the brickwork.
You can see loads of macro shots at Lisas Chaos.

  1. That is a lovely little flower! I know what you mean about pretty flowers that you leave, only to find how fast they spread...

  5. My experience with Barbados Bachelor's Button has been similar! Though the flowers look pretty, the seedlings become too difficult to control later on!!
