Thanks for naming this plant. I had one apparently volunteer in our garden, and had no idea at all what it was. Pentax Forum is truly more than photography!

Your most welcome, I only knew because I read the label.

There seem to be many different variations, but all seem to share this blue to purple type of flowers. But what I really like, is the fact that going down away from the flowers, the stems and leaves have the same colour as the flowers.

I am doubly lucky you passed on the name because mine did not have a label, though I am not quite sure I looked in the correct place. :>)

There is an Eryngium that is a perennial native flower of North American prairies. Here's a link to pictures and info about it:

Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium)

Correct. It does not matter now.
I suspect you might already have a copy of this lens (under another name). But it's nice to have a spare or two!
