Well I think it is some sort of cultivated Scabious – I’m happy to be corrected, though. 😉
Growing in the garden, I used a reflector as a background to isolate from an unhelpful fence panel.

Neato!! 🙂
Reminds me of a drawing by E.P. Ventenat:
Thanks for the reference.
I guess my underlying inspiration for the treatment here, whilst I didn’t give it much thought when I took it, was the work of Karl Blossfeldt.
Never mind the the name Stephen, it calls up ‘isolation’ for me – without negative overtones of loneliness or exclusion (the zen of flower arranging beautifully captured in the natural placement of blooms)
Thank you!
Instantly made me think of Blossfeldt. Nice shot!
🙂 Cheers.
Marvellous photo, Stephen.
Thanks!
Lovely subtle tones and the composition is spot on!
Thank you!
Very Blossfeldt, and very reminiscent of botanical illustration too. Really pure and beautiful.
🙂 Thanks.
Great photograph! Plain, yet stunning.
Thank you!
