Purple power

This perennial flower grows along the edge of our front sidewalk. I don't know its name? Any guesses?

Jeg er ikke så flink på blomsternavn, - men den var vakker i farge og form.

Yes, it's a very nice macro shot. I think, it could be a "Kornblume". Very nice.

The flower looks like a modern Kornblomst, Centaurea cyanus. Nice macro.
