Echinops Sphaerocephalus Arctic Glow

They're lovely Paul - I want some of these type things - we had one called blue hobbit - wonderful additions

The is on my rockery which I made by adding lots of grit/sharp sand and topsoil Paul as I don't think it would like my heavy clay!!!
Tends to like poorer, light soils!!!

The white ones look lovely :o)

Thmx Tt...one of my favourites!

That's unusual, Paul, very nice ... also appears to be growing horizontally! ... :o(

Yes, I grow it along the ground!

Ha ha.....obviously, more IPad issues!But, this was one I took last year before I discovered the problem with portrait photos and some web sites!

It's ok ... I'll send you the bill for the Deep Heat I'll be using on my cricked neck ... lol!

Thanks Paul - I think our soil is pretty sandy as a rule

Ibuprofen gel will be more effective Shirley....but don't buy the brand name one...I can't afford that.get own brand!!!!

Excellent photo,Paul.
It has incredible texture. Oddly, if I was a bee it would slightly remind me of a honeycomb.

Yes, very intricate flowers,Mouldy and great seed heads when the flowers go over!!!!

I could always pinch some from the referees bag ...... a comment which will make no sense whatsoever to anybody else!!!

Some of the refs down our way recently could do with some ranges or ibuprofen, to loosen their joints so they could keep up with play Shirley...ha.ha.Usual footsie fan moaning about ref!!!!

Story of my life, Shirley. :-\

I love these too, we have one growing down our lane, goodness knows how it got there but i love it:-) ive tried growing one in my garden but they dont like me:-(

They want very light soil,lSummerbreeze! I don't have that generally, I have heavy clay but this is on my rockery which I built up higher with Topsoil,Sharp Sand and grit!
