Nice I like the sharpness and movement combined in a single scene. Well done! Posted 13 years ago

I know you have a great knowledge about specie names. But this one is currently identified as an allium, but to me it really looks more like a 'kogeldistel'.

  Thank you Joost! I thought there was something wrong with "sierui" but it didn't pop up in my head... Must be the heat ;-)

    Almost there, but this looks like the Echinops bannaticus 'Taplow Blue' variety. Echinops sphaerocephalus is rather whitish. Posted 12 years ago

      You could be right but "Echinops sphaerocephalus" was the name on the nametag next to this plant at a nature education center, that's why I identified it as "Echinops sphaerocephalus".
      The "Echinops sphaerocephalus" can also be light blue or going to white I just read. The Echinops sphaerocephalus 'Niveus' is the really white one. Posted 12 years ago

        Well in this case it should be correct.
        The one I have uploaded is a wild type white.
