Blue and Spikey

Some sights from around the neighborhood.

Bachelor's Buttons never go out of fashion. They looked great planted next to the fennel with its lacy yellow blossoms.


Fabulous thistles.

At first I thought these were Sea Holly, but upon closer examination, the form is different. I'm wondering if they are a native plant I saw long ago growing in the high desert in Eastern Oregon. I came across these at dusk and they seemed to glow and float. For a moment it seemed I was staring into cellular forms under a microscope. I must get some!
