A friend has this growing in her garden - does anyone recognise it?

Is it a Knapweed?

I think so. The leaves look like the one Nut gave me, and the heads look the same but without tthe petals
Brilliant! Thanks Panda

I'm getting good at this

I've got one of those, but I haven't got any flowers yet
My first thought was globe thistle or echinops!
Yours are rather ahead of mine Dove

Aah yes thats what mine are called gardengirl6, enchinops
Not mine Nut - a friend with a walled garden in Bedfordshire - a bit warmer over there I suspect

I dont think that this is an echinops as I have lots of these in my garden and they dont look like this.
I dont know what it is though Im afrad
Thanks Louise
We've agreed - it's Greater Knapweed
