	The nearest I could find was knapweed, but none of them looked quite right. How big is it? and what sort of leaves has it got? I agree it's very pretty.

	it appears to be a Field Thistle,which is much smaller than the big Teasles.

	It's lovely! Don't forget, a weed is just something growing in the wrong place. I have a garden full of weeds - or as others' would call them - Japanese anemonies. :-( I still haven't forgiven my sister for giving me one plant 10 years ago :-P :-P It obviously prefers my soil to hers!

	If you goggle knapweed it certainly looks part of that family which is a type of thistle so it's looks like graham and I are on the same page !
