Which Aciphylla?

Is it possible to give a name to this Spaniard - Aciphylla spp - the picture was taken last year in the Stavanger Botanical Garden here in Norway.

To me it looks pretty much like A. aurea, though perhaps greener than is usually seen. That could be a climate thing or it could be another species altogether. David Lyttle or Dave Toole will know for sure.
