We've been away in Suffolk and saw this plant in someone's garden. They
don't know what it is but have given us some, and I took two photos while we
were there. Does anyone know what it is? It was about 3ft or maybe a little
more tall, and as you may see smothered in bees:

Sorry for not very brilliant photos but they were taken on my phone since I
didn't have my camera with me.

Try Centaurea macrocephala.
