A flower has appeared in my garden which appears to be a Sea Holly.
However, the flower is red, and all other examples I've seen online are
blue.

Does anyone know if a red Sea Holly does in fact exist, or could it be
another plant, resembling the Sea Holly?

A photo of the flower can be found he

Does anyone have any thoughts?


Could it be a crimson scabious? The photo is rather blurred.
