Attached are pictures of Centaurea cyanus captured at Almora, Uttarakhand in November 2012

Have posted this since 'Centaurea' was present in the list published at the beginning of the forthnight, but not sure whether this flower fits the description - 'Discoid heads'

Could someone please clarify?

Very good photographs ...
