User's notes

A rare patch of C. tenuiflorum with magenta flowers in amongst a larger group of paler Common Centaury, and with many other patches of the common pale Pink Stars. First pic shows small plants, no rosettes. Second pic of a larger plant shows the branching pattern. Third pic shows the contrast in flowers between the two species.
