Eryngium giganteum – Silver Ghost Thistle

, ,
Eryngium giganteum

It’s Monday morning again, and the start of a new week. I can’t believe we are on the 28th of November and it won’t be long before Christmas is here once again. Whilst walking around Great Comp Gardens, I came across this beautiful Eryngium giganteum, commonly known as the Silver Ghost Thistle.

    I love Thistles even though they are considered noxious here in Australia.

      Oh, we have some species here that sting like crazy. What I like about this one it was planted within a flower bed. xx

        Ours don’t sting but have huge prickly leaves. Horses live them.
