Eryngium Planum

This looks lke mine, only I think mine coul be a minature, I just love the metalic lookin flower heads;0)

Just seen your picture Carole, does look just the same doesn't it, this ones around 3ft tall :-)

I guess its the same one as mine does state around 30ins ;0)

Lovely, reminds me of my globe thistle, saw one at the garden centre the other day, covered in bees.

Yes this is always covered in bees and insects Dawn, does seed around a lot and a b***** to get out if you let the seedlings get too big, lol, do love it though.

I didnt realise they seeded down so easily. Know what you mean, I was digging out some spirea (pink flower spiked ones) yesterday, what a pain, must dead head regularly in future.
