Eryngium

A day so wet I was almost forced to use a shot I don't think I have ever bliped before, raindrops on a windowpane.

Fortunately, the garden studio came to the rescue when it was raining at an amount I was prepared to dash through.  Ready set up in a vase was the Eryngium Clickychick had used the other day.  So here it is from a different angle.   Lazy?   Me?  Never!

For those who are thinking "that looks familiar" Eryngiums are a common coastal plant in the UK, known as Sea Holly.  Obviously, this is a cultivated variety or not British as the colour is better than any UK Sea Holly I have seen.
