Wordless Wednesday
oh these are beautiful . . . . do you know the story behind their fabulous common name?
Indeed I do, do you?
No!!!!
Ah, the gardener Ellen Wilmott loved the sea holly, and the story goes that when visiting other gardens, she would surreptitiously scatter seeds of it….
oh that’s such a lovely tale . . . .maybe I should start scattering seeds too 🙂
Teehee!
Lovely! Happy Wednesday, Sue 🙂 🙂
And happy Wednesday to you, Jo! Have you seen my Wordless Wednesday , posted with you in mind!!!
Not yet 🙂
Nice.
Thanks!
Doubly spiky! That’s a great one, Sue. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
I thought they made a great spiky!
Beauties!
Always to be relied upon, Miss Wilmott!!
So lovely!
They’re great, aren’t they?!
These are beautiful.
Thanks, Elaine – they look good up close
Very prickly. And a lovely name.
A name with a history…
Gosh, I like this, Sue. Macro shots have a hidden depth that brings delight.
I agree with your sentiments, Cindy, but this wasn’t actually a macro, I just got as close as I could – and, Spoiler Alert, I did a bit of cropping!!
stunning
Many thanks, Gavin!
I read the history of the name – very cool – and perfect for spiky square 😉
Thanks, Prior! Made for this challenge, indeed!
How lovely and I like the story behind the name.
It’s great, isn’t it?
