| As always my camera skills do not do this plant justice. An Eryngium's steel blue colour coupled with the unusual textures and unique flower makes it a must perennial in my garden. I do sometimes see Sea Holly "babies" here and there. But it has never been an issue for me as there aren't many and they are easily removed. |

| Gorgeous, I used to have a plant or two in my garden, seeing yours makes me remember how much I loved this plant, a real eye catcher. Annette |

| That is beautiful! I don't have room for one, but I might have to rethink that. |

| Beautiful, I need more short plants for the front of my bed but may have to find a spot for one of those if I can find a plant. |
|
| So lovely! Rouge, you certainly have a knack! |
|
| That's an incredible blue. I used to grow just the straight species and it was nowhere near that arresting. |
|
| You guys are always so kind. I for sure show only my best stuff. I have learned and continue to learn lots from all of you. |

| How gorgeous, Rouge. I have to ask, are the prickly bits hard like thistles, or soft? I would love to plant one of these but am a bit of a suck when it comes to things that jab... |

| Pam it is quite thistle like. I also don't like the feel but it is worth it for the other worthwhile attributes |
