Beautiful, I love this flower
Good, it is good medicinal plant.
I love echinops but i always think of sputniks when i see the blooms. This plant always reminds us why plants are so beautiful!
Nature is beautiful! 🙂
Yes it is!
Thank you for visiting my blog, Old Writers at Work. I’m glad you liked the butterfly and flower “dance." Those pictures were taken in Maggie Valley, North Carolina near Asheville. When we were there, I saw globethistle (ehinops) all over the place and fell in love with it. I might try it here in the panhandle of Florida, near Pensacola (the northwest part of Florida). Your photo is lovely.
Thank you, too!
How pretty these thistles are! Thank you for stopping by and liking my blog.
