Sea holly is a species of Eryngium (some people expand the term to the whole genus), so I think we can assume that Echium was a thinko for Eryngium. Japanese anemone And ?Tagetes I'd like to see scale, habit and foliage, and even then might well not be sure (it seems to be a "double", which doesn't help identification), but Tagetes seems more plausible than Zinnia. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

The common name for Eryngium is sea holly. What most people think of as thistles are Echinops. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

writes How do you differentiate "sea holly vs thistle"??? Sacha has inferred that you mean globe thistle (Echinops) rather than all the other plants known as thistles, which makes sense as it is Echinops that shares with Eryngium the trait of globular flower heads. Another plant with a similar jizz is teasel (Dipsacus). I tell Eryngium from Echinops by jizz (they don't look the same), but that won't help you. Eryngium is an atypical umbellifer, and Echinops an atypical composite. This means that Echinops has fused anthers, but that won't help you, unless you carry around a high-power hand lens. Looking at my image files, Eryngium has a whorl of bracts below the capitulum, while these are lacking from the capitulescence of Echinops (part of what is atypical for Echinops as a composite is that the capitulum is reduced to a single flower - even wall lettuce has five flowers in a capitulum - and the capitula are arranged into globular heads. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

I agree on Eryngium cv and Japanese Anemone 'Honorine Jobert'. Spider |
