Echinops Thistle

This beautiful blue perennial is called Echinops Ritro, commonly known as globe thistle.

My son, who takes a lot of the photos of the garden, thought that this thistle was a weed, and took some close-up photographs just to annoy me. It backfired.

I've successfully grown more plants from seed, and from also by taking cuttings at the base of the plant early in spring.
