Globe Thistle / Echinops ritro
The five photos posted this morning were all taken yesterday, 11 September 2018. Our botany season has come to an end and so our main Naturalist had a group of us visit his amazing garden and a walk to look at wild and garden plants in his neighbourhood. Not the greatest weather, but at least the rain kept away. I think rain is in the forecast for the next week, which is a pity, as the fall leaves will all be on the ground before we know it. Mixed precipitation tonight.
I always enjoy seeing Globe Thistles, though the Reader Rock Garden is where I usually see them. These tall plants are popular with bees and butterflies. This species beongs to the Sunflower family, Asteraceae.
"The plants are native to Asia and Europe and the name means hedgehog in Greek, which is appropriately referencing the prickly blooms."
