Description

A few houses further in the street there's another garden or open place where I find something unexpected, the alpine sea holly (Eryngium alpinum). I don't see a house close to this place so I feel free to shoot this fantastic plant with large flowers visited by wasps and bees. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 150 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

On dirait une sorte de chardon. J'ai toujours trouver joli, les chardons en fleurs.
