Wild Scabious were once used by herbalists to cure skin diseases,wounds, and even the plague.
A concoction was drunk as an infusion or applied externally as ointment .....
Bee collecting nectar on wild Scabious at the edge of a field ......
I prefer the delicate wild flowers to the also beautiful garden Scabious .....
Garden varieties are larger and come in various shades and colours .....

ReplyDeleteHello,Ruby,
ReplyDeleteYou captured such lovely moments. The bees and the flowers are beautiful! Happy photos!
Have a good weekend!
Hi Ruby, Scabious are such becautiful flowers. I have some in my garden. They are a great addition to an arrangement. I agree with you that the wild variety is much prettier. Christa
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Scabious before. It is a very pretty color and has some very interesting properties. Thanks for sharing this with Today's Flowers Ruby, the fun part of doing this is learning something new. Happy Sunday to you :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and collage.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very good weekend.
Best regards, Irma
p.s. Love the photos and that little bee :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer the wildflowers also ~ Lovely garden flowers too ~ Majestic macro shots of nature being nature ~ Beautiful! ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting ^_^
Happy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
The wild scabious is pretty, to my knowledge it does not grow here. But I have in my garden a bit similar wild Knautia arvensis. Maybe with smaller flowers but pretty much the same tone. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteAttractive for bumble bees - and me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!:) I love all your photographs with the bee, and the lovely flower collage. Both the wild Scabious and the Garden varieties are very beautiful, but to come across any kind of colourful wild flower is special, especially one as beautiful as this one. It is great to learn about their healing properties.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, Ruby! Bumblebees are my favourite insects, but I never manage to take photos as good as these.
ReplyDeleteThe collage is very beautiful and interesting. Thank you for sharing! xx
Lovely flowers! I love the bees. Have a great week. Ruby.
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice healing photos! Your macro photos are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde, lindo momento fotografico a captar as lindas flores de bela cor.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana,

A miracle plant! Beauty and healing ... What more could one ask? Sometimes I think we should still pay attention to the old ways and try herbs and plants first.
ReplyDeleteYour first photo is stunning! Only in recent years I have started paying attention to the healing properties of plants and flowers. It makes me look different at the world around me. I love the colors that are dominant in your post and sharing them with SEASONS - thank you much:) Wishing you a lovely week, Ruby!
ReplyDeletePretty purple petals that heal hurting wounds...how perfect! A very intriguing post, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Labour Day,
Poppy
I love how your images looks so sommery. :)
ReplyDeletePretty in pink and blue.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flower and amazing photography.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! The flowers are just lovely with the busy bee working away.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures. Either your bee was a very patient model or you were very quick on the button!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother always had them in her garden and called them "pincushion flower". Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Floral Friday Fotos meme.
Super pretty! Have a lovely weekend!
