Close-up of Eryngium giganteum, known as Miss Willmott's Ghost, at the Cambridge Botanic Garden. Characterized by spiky, silver-green bracts surrounding a central cone, this perennial plant has a striking thistle-like appearance. The sharp, pointed leaves and star-shaped pattern create a unique texture, set against a background of lush green foliage. Commonly found in gardens for its ornamental value, it is native to the Caucasus region and often attracts pollinators.
