Common Centuary - Centaurium erythraea

For the last three or four years here at Holly Cottage, we have noticed that there is Common Centuary growing on the banks above the meadow.  Though fairly widespread throughout  the UK, I had never knowingly seen it till around four years ago and I consider it a great find on our land and look forward to it's appearance every year.
