E is for Eryngium giganteum.
This one is for Lucy.
Antisocial gardener (she booby-trapped her flowers lest they be stolen!) who seldom shared plants with others, Miss Willmott had a peculiar habit: she carried seeds of the silvery-blue Eryngium giganteum Bieberstein and scattered them in other people's gardens. The spiny plant was said to match her personality. Like a specter, the silvery-blue plant stands out against dark green. After all these years, the plant is still called Miss Willmott's ghost.
