Sea hollies are beautiful plants, and well loved by bumblebees and other native bees, as well as butterflies and beetles, and even unusual flies such as some tachinids.

Here, a paler, more silvery sea holly native of the : Eryngium bourgatii, that goes by the local name of Panical Blau inaturalist.org/observations/1 Loses most of its blue tones upon drying out.

And a tachinid fly, Nowickia sp., sipping nectar from a Sea Holly alongside an Erebia epiphron butterfly inaturalist.org/observations/1 (see also inaturalist.org/observations/1 )

The Sea Holly is a fascinating, unique plant that is steel blue and spiny. It has a wonderful architectural form and colored foliage that is valued in the summer garden. It definitely adds interest and the blue stars are quite striking.

Temperatures stayed below freezing all day, seems to have been a bit of a surprise for the flowers still trying to grow in the garden, though the seed heads were looking seasonal.
