Can't resist this pic of Berkheya‬ purpurea - Raz Chisu say's it's proving to be the star of the HPS display at Tatton

Always enjoy these news and photos from over the ocean Maggi. Cannot help to add more on Berkheya purpurea - caught it in flower last year in SRGC forumist Robert Pavlis garden and I was spellbound!
My seedlings started in early spring are already planted in the ground; one more mention, we are both gardening in zone 5 - Canada.

Good to know that your "year of the thistle" is going well, Gabriela!

Thank you Maggi I developed a slight obsession with Jurinea spp. - hope to have some flowering next year.

I shall be forgiven but can't abstain (you can move the picture elsewhere Maggi) - Berkheya in all its glory, last year in August; I like it a lot actually after it flowers.

A sign of a quality plant, I think, when it gives interest at more than one stage of its growth.
