This beautiful blue perennial is called Echinops Ritro, commonly known as globe thistle.Globe thistles are stalwart perennials that produce metallic-blue blossoms with perfectly round flower heads atop ribbed stems. Plants grow two to five feet tall and almost as wide. The spiny-edged leaves are white and woolly underneath.
This is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean composite herbs , I took this picture in the prairies of south lebanon ; I have to metion that bees and butterflies adore this flower.
