Button Up With These 8 Fine and Frivolous Astrantia Designs

Look closely. What do you see? Imagine a frivolous filigree that you may know from the fine handmade robes that fashionable and classy people have worn as luxurious buttons for centuries. What you see is the flower-version of exactly that: an Astrantia.

Look Closely Again

You need to look closely again because the flowers in themselves are not so big. Yet, they are far from moderate, despite their size. Watch the many tiny flowers that are clustered into one, forming a star-shaped button. The lacking size of astrantia, also commonly known as 'masterwort' is compensated richly by its starburst flower head and frilled leaves. The color spectrum of this star-shaped button ranges from a greenish-white to pale-pink to purplish-red; precious and romantic colors indeed.
