Tree leaves are just starting to turn yellow and it's still a struggle each morning - to get from under a soft warm blanket and into the gloomy and rainy Lviv day. Here's a flower for the season: globethistle, tender, resilient and gently colourful.

In this poor, well-drained soil in full sun the Echinops ritro 'Veitch's Blue' (globe thistle) are thriving. This cultivar has slightly darker blue spherical flowerheads than Echinops ritro and both are popular with bees.

In the order beds of Cambridge Botanic Garden the Echinops ritro (globe thistle), Echinops bannaticus (Hungarian globe thistle) and Echinops sphaerocephalus (glandular globe thistle, great globe thistle, pale globe thistle) were flowering. They are all herbaceous perennial, with blue flowers from Echinops ritro and the taller species being Echinops bannaticus. The flowers are a valuable food source for insects.
