A pink Yarrow (Achillea). Yarrow is a wonderful plant which comes in many different colours and which attracts a variety of insects. This pink variety has something of an ‘old-fashioned’ feel which appeals to me.

I love that color! I’ve got the yellow, white and one they call a ‘terra cotta’ color but the pink looks beautiful.

Thank you Sue! I saw this at a newly-planted Centenary Garden and thought it looked beautiful. They had deep yellows too which were very pretty. I know the terracotta one of which you speak and I love that too.

Thank you Fergie. They are wonderful plants – the colours sometimes soft and light, other colours deep and vibrant – and all on the same plant sometimes!

A beautiful close up of such a wonderful plant. Yarrow makes a great addition to the composting process also via spent blooms….I’ve even used the leaves as a mulch against hot summer temperatures.

Thank you Eremophila. That’s interesting regarding the composting and mulch. I love these flowers and tried to grow them in a nice sunny spot which I thought would be ideal but they didn’t do very well. Will have to try again.
