Here are some more beautiful thistles, from the same garden in Wiltshire as my previous thistle post. These are Eryngium, also known as Ivory Thistles or Sea Holly. Both are apt monikers as these are prickly plants indeed.
Linked to Festival of Flowers, Floral Friday and Today’s Flowers.

I have a weird love of thistles. Must be my inner Scotswoman.
