Hi Sticki:) here is the link to the plant that looks identical like the one in the picture:

Katarina - I think if you'll sow the seeds in spring it won't be to late. Have never grown it so not big expert on propagation of that particular one...

Sticki - it's a picture of a plant in somebody's garden. Not in mine:( sorry, forgot to say that in photo description. will update it now.
8 Jan, 2012
oh well, nice to look at anyway, thanks kasy.
btw did you have a lovely sunset tonight?
8 Jan, 2012
I was working this weekend, never have a chance to see sunsets at work as the shop building is blocking the view:( I can just see different colours of the clouds, highlighted by the sun. Getting home when the sun is already gone:(

9 Jan, 2012

waiting to see the seeds to germinate:) It's really good autumn plant.
9 Jan, 2012
it glows blue, thats the attraction for me.

Is this the one called 'Silver Ghost' or am I thinking of another plant.? What are the seeds called,that you bought,Sticki ?..I think I could be on the wrong track here..
10 Jan, 2012
I have bought Eryngium alpinum superbum!!!!!!!!!!
not sure if it is the right one and didnt notice its name till now!
10 Jan, 2012

10 Jan, 2012
I think they could have thought of a better name dont you?
10 Jan, 2012

10 Jan, 2012

10 Jan, 2012
No problem ,and I agree ,seems a strange name to choose :o)
10 Jan, 2012
Hi Bloomer - the common name for it is Sea holly:) Silver Ghost is a variety of Eryngium giganteum. And please - don't delete or edit funny comments, lol.
10 Jan, 2012
