..........these fabulous seed heads are Cardoon plants.......they were all rattling with full seeds and sounded like a percussion group ! Please note....these are not in my garden, but at Heligan Gardens !!! Please also note that I have had a bit of a faff with this pic :)
Jackie has already asked the question. I find the seeds from this types of plant have the bad habit of falling into my pocket. You are obviously a much better person than me.
