Centaurea Macrocephala

Thats a lovely thistle thingy : )

Didn't know they came in yellow.......maybe it's a mutant and incredibly rare?

Excellent - looks a bit like a pineapple!! lol

Get a better photo - I know just the chap to id it.
It certainly looks interesting.

It;s a bit like 'Centaurea Soltitialis........but then again....maybe not!
It looks just like a thistle but yellow! No leaves, the slugs ate the lot!

It also doesn't have spines..so it can't be the star thistle or the above!!

Centaurea macrocephala maybe? Would love to grow these.

Yep TBear, You got it....just googled and it's the same flower! Thankyou!

Took 100 photos of my garden last night, in perfect light. Only to find that husband David had used my memory card for band practice. Am well miffed!

Indeed...he won't be doing that again!
Had lots of good photos of your crystals, orange bowl! Your 2 tomatoes..........and much, much more!
