ERYINGIUM

Eryingium giganteum.
These are the dried flower heads of an Eryngium also known as Miss Willmott's ghost. Ellen Willmott was a famous gardener and plant collector at the turn of the 19th century. She was reputed to sprinkle seeds of this plant in the gardens she visited - up they came a year later as a reminder of her visit.
