Oops, I forgot the last one.
This is a pretty but definitely odd-looking flower phyteuma scheuchzeri.
It's a low growing plant I grow along the border of the shady driveway.
Blooms look sort of like purple sweeetgum seed pods.
If you look closely the individual spiky petals separate in the middle into a sort of spiral configuration. Very strange.
