Achillea millefolium, known commonly as yarrow, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Asia, Europe, and North America. Other common names for this species include nosebleed plant, old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, thousand-leaf, and thousand-seal. In ancient times it was used to staunch wounds from battle as wild yarrow was readily available near the battlefield. This is a cultivar known as "Paprika". (some info from Wikipedia)

Lovely, I have wondered what they were, so now I know. Thanks for the very good info on this lovely plant. They seem almost suspended in this capture. Tigs♥ =^..^

Lovely shade. I've seen the yellow, white and purple ones, but never the pink. The composition of this image is outstanding.
