spikey HBW - globe thistle

Explore #495 - July 16, 2008 - Thanks everyone and HBW!

 

We cooled off with another walk to Volunteer Park this evening. On the way we saw these great spikey flowers in a neighbor's yard.

 

Not actually an allium. Thanks to Erik for the proper id: Globe thistle Echinops.
