Photograph taken using a macro setting, looking down at a sea holly flower. Unusual angle for me! Love the colour combination. Image shows a blue-purple spiky sea holly flower with equally vicious-looking green leaves edged with barbs. Background is a pale biscuit colour.

The Sea Holly is one of the most amazing flowers that you can add to your garden. Sculptural and intensely coloured, they are a great way to add some hight to low bedding flowers.

New illustration, the Eryngium plant.
Commonly known as Sea Holly, this plant is striking not only for its blue coloring, but also its sculptural flowers and leaves.

Holly molly sea holly is so cool looking.
I might have had a few strawberry daiquiris one night and bought about 200€ worth of the most interesting looking plants I could find online. So far it's been the best investment drunk me has made and the bumblebees agree #gardening #plants #seaholly

In Focus - from above, a Blue Sea Holly Thistle takes centre stage. In the Elizabethan era, sea holly, particularly its candied roots, were believed to have aphrodisiac properties. Shakespeare mentions "erringoes" (a type of candied Eryngium) in The Merry Wives of Windsor, suggesting their use in amorous pursuits. In some legends, mermaids are said to eat sea holly to enhance their allure and charm. Eryngium, especially sea holly, symbolizes strength, independence, and admiration.
Eryngium Planum - Sea Holly
Favoured by mermaids,
As a sweet delicacy,
One tale in Tempest.

Steel blue round flowers with spikes for petals
Sea Holly a unique perennial, great for pots & flower arrangements as it dries a steel blue color. Spiky like Blessed Thistle, but does not hurt when you touch it. great pollinator.

Lovely purple sea holly blossom photographed close up with a bee pollinating it. Sea holly’s have bluish gray spiky leaves and petals with a thistle-like center. When mature, the petals turn purple, as seen in the photo.
First photo with my new birthday present. (Thanks to my hubby) A 75mm macro mobile lens for my iPhone. My sea holly plants have finally turned purple, so happy! 😀 #bloomscrolling #macrophotography #seaholly #bloomsofbluesky #ulanzi #ulanzi75mmmacrolens

The sea holly is turning neon blue! Love when it vibrates in that crazy color.

The blue Sea Holly is just starting to turn into their amazing neon blue color. The bees are wild about them. Planted 3 years ago from tiny pots, they die back to the ground and come back bigger every year.

A spikey leaved pale green and white plant in a garden border that contrasts with the plum slate and green plants around it.
One of the Eryngiums. It's called 'Lapis Blue' and it's foliage adds a highlight among the green.
