The glandular globe-thistle, or great globe-thistle (lat. Echinops sphaerocephalus).

🍯A little about honey. This plant is a late-summer nectar source, producing so much of it that it floods the entire flower head. In my photos, it has already finished blooming, likely due to the lack of shade and rain. Honey from globe thistle is light amber in color. It is believed to be highly invigorating and is recommended for the morning hours. Ah, I could certainly use some of that — so I’ll be on the lookout for this delightful source of energy😏😋

Мордовник шароголовый (лат. Echinops sphaerocephalus).

🍯Немного о мёде. Это растение — позднелетний медонос, у которого нектар выделяется столь обильно, что заливает всё соцветие. На моих фотографиях он уже отцвёл, вероятно, из-за отсутствия тени и дождей. Мёд с мордовника светло-янтарный. Считается, что он сильно бодрит и рекомендуется к употреблению в утренние часы. Эх, мне такое не помешало бы, поэтому попробую найти этот дивный источник энергии. 😏😋

A bunch of summer photos, including my furry darling who's not among the living anymore...

Globe Thistle (echinops) 🌱 Gardening Australia S36E01

Echinops are well known and recognisable for their globular crown of deep blue flowers and spiny, woolly foliage that is often grey-green. The genus name is derived from the Greek words “ekhinos” (hedgehog) and “opisis” (head), which refers to the flower's head that looks a bit like a hedgehog.
