I am so happy with my Globe Thistle this year! I bought a couple of tiny plants in 2008 and they did nothing, and last year (2009) they grew, but there were no flowers. This year I seem to have 4 plants that are full of these beautiful blue blooms and the bees absolutely love them. I can't believe how very very tall they are. In some ways they resemble a flowering thistle, in that it is burr-shaped, but the flowers are a metalic blue instead of mauve/purple. Love them and love these bees.
