    Hello,

    I took photos of two flowers.
    I think the first one is centaurea jacea, can you confirm?
    The second flower is blue and I have no idea what it is...

    The second may be a Jasione sp., sheepsbit.

    Thank you!
    Yes, it looks like it, and the location where I found it is one of its habitats. It's just not mentioned in my (not very precise) book of common flora of the area.

    The first one is probably Centaurea jacea agg. indeed; the second plant is indeed Jasione, most likely Jasione montana.
