Help! ....what's my flower?

[Angela]

Another Orger's just asked me what my blue flower is -the one that's my avatar.

To my shame, I don't know :eek:- I do know the flower but I just can't think what its name is.

Can anybody help us out here please? :)

[cuddlepop]

I'll have a guess its a cornflower but I've got a funny feeling its the wrong shape.:confused

[teenybash]

I think your avatar is a Globe Thistle..................

[tigger2u]

It could be Allium :)

[bettedaviseyes]

would love to know the name of it at my work they grow in your beer garden the gardeners have toke a photo of it to look on the net but no luck yet!!!

Like Tigger2U, I think you're a purple allium, Angela. :)

But I still don't know what I am :eek:!

[Kevin Milkins]

My guess was an ornimentel onion ,but difficult to judge the size.:confused

Alliums are members of the onion family, which includes chives and garlic....so if we're right Kevin, Angela's definitely very tasty :D!

Oooh, so cruel Angela :lol:!

But do you mean my avatar, or the photo I sent you? :eek:

[pat]

I think you are a blue Alium - beautiful flower and fairly long lasting too

[Hibeechick]

Hi Angela.

Looks like Echinops to me :)

[Hibeechick]

Heres a slightly clearer picture of echinops.

Well seeing as you are a florist i'm not going to argue with you! Not that i would dare to anyway!

Ok, I'll bow here to Hibeechick's superior knowledge ;) and go for echinops, AKA globe thistle, as teenybash suggested too.

Thanks everybody for being so willing to help...:)
