Love the colour. Very awesome flower 💙

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 💙 it’s such an intense blue 😍

Very welcome 💙

Beautiful blue. I love this. Amazing that you grew it from seed 💙💙💙💙

@midnightgardener isn’t it 💙 it’s the only one that made it to a fully grown plant but one is enough when it looks like this 🤩

@jmlincoln crazy looking isn’t it 😜 waiting on the little tiny flowers to appear from the spikes 💙

😂 we can almost see that tiny hiding ladybird! 💕

@rhododendronmad all my bug photos today were ones I didn’t notice until after I’d taken the photos 😂 apart from the bee one because he’s too big to miss 🤣

That's even better! 😁🌷🕷️🦟🐜🦗

I've got a couple globe thistles growing. Different variety tho.

@lesliecole49 I grew them from seed last year so am hoping for flowers this year (of thistles 🤣) what type are yours?
