Me again. I need to thank you, cause I wasn't aware of the other names for this far-out plant. We planted "Bachelor Buttons" two weeks ago and I didn't know what we were in for. THIS is what bloomed out: [link]
It's a coincidence that the angles are alike. I shot this from the hip. (I didn't "sight" it.

My neighbor has these (I love them but they're going by). I took pics of the white variety at a nursery in New Hampshire. I didn't know they had so many names. We have Bachelor Buttons planted but I don't think they'll look like this. But I hope they do. 
I've been telling others that the ones I see next door are Centaurea Montana, the mountain cornflower. Did I goof?

Hi Chris, I saw your [link] and found the flowers looking exactly like mine. I've also looked up Centaurea Montana online and found them looking exactly the same as well. I was told that they are Bachelor Buttons a while back by the neighbor, but now I looked up some pictures online and think Centaurea Montana matches the flower more accurately. I'll make the correction. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hope I didn't come across as Know-It-All. Sometimes species can look ALOT alike but of course have different latin names. The white "bachelor buttons" I see on here remind me of a ripe watermelon with black pips.
I look things up with Wiki. I ASSUME the info on there is by knowledgeable people.

Glad you loved it, Olivia!
Bachelor's button is quite hardy and common here in Rochester NY. It is a perennial plant that comes back to life year after year!
