Great photo Richard

Morning everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend. I love how each blue spike let’s out such a delicate flower which is then loved by bees, a fascinating flower #echinops #macro

Morning Richard 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Good afternoon Richard.Nice picture. Last year i sow some seeds of globe thistle but they are quite weak and yellowish probably they do not like the heavy clay of my garden. I am looking forward to seeing them in bloom, hopefully next year.

Nice and spikey - love these

Love these x
