One of the loveliest-scented flowers in my opinion, Lily of the Valley
is also associated with the Zodiac or other gobbeldygook which are
attached to birthdates. Lily of the Valley is, indeed, my birth-flower,
and one of few flowers I fully enjoy the scent of. They grow copiously
in the Great Lakes region of the United States, with little to no help
from gardeners.
A wonderful picture, Tobias.
The second looks to me to be the flower of a common thistle.

Yep, I recognised it straight away, we know it just as Cornflower, although my father used to call it Knapweed. The "mountain" in the name is strange, they're growing everywhere in my garden and they seed themselves like weeds. Attractive ones though!
