Sea Holly

I'm not sure why it's called that because it doesn't grow in the sea and it looks more like a thistle than holly.......... But it's odd, it's purple and I love it.

It does grow on the sea shore around here, Miss Willmots Ghost is its other name (or erygnium) I am envious that yours is so purple, mines only just turning from green to blue now and is very stunted in height.

Nice color, capture!

This grows like a weed on the east shores of the Island.

It’s a very pretty mix of colours

I love this jumble of purple with that touch of orange

I've only seen Sea Holly once, by the North Sea in the Netherlands, but I kind of fell in love with it! I don't know if it grows here in North America or not 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, great picture of it!
