Eryngium amethystinum (amethyst sea holly) and Bombus (bumblebee)

The nights are getting colder and the hours of sunshine shorter. These very busy bumblebees know what's coming next. As Bob Dylan said, "You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." Welcome to autumn.

In a sunny, sheltered and well-drained position in Cambridge Botanic Garden, UK, the Eryngium pandanifolium (pandan-like-leaved eryngo, sea holly) is flowering. This evergreen, perennial has blue-green, sword-shaped leaves with cone-like clusters of tiny red-purple flowers.

Wonky by Pete Rowbottom, Wigan, UK Via Flickr: The first shot from an overnight shoot up to Anglesey for Comet Neowise (shots to follow) It would have been rude not to combine a Sunset and a Sunrise either side of the main event as it were. I decided to shoot the delightfully 'wonky' leaning lighthouse on Talacre Beach, North Wales on the way, the light was great for a good 40 minutes here and was well worth stopping off, the low sun here catching the Marram grass... The plants to the left of the frame caught my eye here as an ideal foregound to use, I'm informed it is called 'Sea Holly' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Portfolio of images on my own website here -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I will be looking for some more eryngiums

[hisinfernalmajesty666]

Added some sand around the Eryngium 'sea holly'. Thought I'd try and make it look like it's actually on the beach. Only had grit sand at work so it's a lil darker than beach sand but oh well. Got some whelk shells (sustainably sourced) and scattered them around too. Not perfect, but I like it.
