#Echinops with #bee - in my #garden - July 2025
We try to grow bee friendly plants, they tend to be smaller #flowers but are beautiful just the same.

Colour photo, dark background, contrasty light. I allowed a globe thistle to bloom and dry out in a jar, and then half the dried flowers fell off the inflorescence. So this is almost like a cross section through the flowerhead. In the middle is the stem where you see the place the flowers attached, and radiating from it, the remaining flowers, spiky brown at the base extending to deep blue petals and little tufts of pale yellow pollen. Another intact flowerhead is below it.

A tiny universe in bloom: the Ruthenian globe thistle shines like a perfect blue planet in the garden. 🌍💙 Its form and color remind us that nature often hides infinity in the smallest details. #echinops #blueflower #nature #macro #wildflower #canon

Two globular flowers, as yesterday, the larger one opening all the way from the top to the stem, the smaller still tightly in bud.

I love our "cottage garden" plants because they attract so many beautiful insects. I could sit & watch them for hours. Trying to get them to stand & pose was an art in itself 😉

#Echinops #Kugeldistel: the #punk #rock #star of the #flower bed. #Spiky, #spherical, and totally #bee-magnetic. Looks like a #medieval weapon, but feeds #pollinators like a pro. #Beauty, attitude, and #biodiversity in one prickly package.

Echinops is one of the many species in the globe thistle family... they thrive in our dry summer heat!

My ethos as a gardener has evolved over the decades from 'attractive to this human' to 'attractive to everything else in her ecosystem'
Nature rewards me all season for my efforts

#Rust on #Echinops (E. spinosissimus?) caused by #Puccinia echinopsis or P. pulvinata (Dougga, TUN). Sad that I could not bring any sample back to France in my luggage to identify with 🔬, but there is no excuse - especially for plant pathologist - to violate #biosecurity rules!
Loving the orange and blue colour scheme in the side garden... #gardening #echinops #perovskia #thunbergia
