Beautiful plant! Nice shot!
they look like little pineapples :)
lovely capture against the beautiful sky.
Very creative shot, nice plant, never seen before, well done!!
Have a nice SWF
This is a version I've never seen before...and, yes, it looks great with the sky for a backdrop.
Gorgeous details that really "pop out" of the picture!
And a marvelous sky as backdrop - beautiful!

That is a really nice looking picture with the sky in the background.
So right about the sky being a great backdrop. Interesting plant. Looks like little pineapples.
What a 'kewl' plant and a creative photo. Lovely ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I totally agree! What a beautiful flower. Is that some type of a wildflower?
I like the way you put that together
Beautiful shot with the sky as a beautiful background.
Never heard of them... they look sort of like thistles, great backdrop. Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I had 444 hits yesterday! WOW!
Beautiful shot with the sky as a beautiful background.
Troy: What a neat SWF over the plant.
I see the Eryngo doesn't grow in CO - they do look like tiny pineapples, don't they?
Grat to be back here my friends... and a great picture to come back to.

I love that plant! Have you purchased it recently? Do you have a source?
This is a neat plant. Love the color of it. It really looks nice with the sky as a backdrop. Nice post for Sky Watch. (I live off Brentwood Stair in East FW}
Fun image. They almost look like little pineapples on that plant.

Very interesting shot, and I agree the sky makes an excellent backdrop.
Thank you for letting me know what this is, I took a very similar shot a few months ago and had no idea :-)
what a great background for a cool plant!
A beautiful skywatch pic., the plant is enchanting though it does look to be prickly. Lovely flowers and interesting growth with all those baby pineapples all over it.
Gorgeous sky!
What an intriguing plant. The flowers look like little purrple pineapples! It felt right at home on my view screen here in Hawaii!
That's gorgeous. Thanks, friends.
very nice picture.
Pineapples and sky equals a fantastic shot.

The sky does show more detail in the plant's flower heads. Nice shot!
Wow. Both the plant and the sky are incredible. Excellent capture!
WoW...simply beautifully captured shots!
I remember seeing a few of these when I lived in Texas. I can't remember where, but most of my life in Texas was in North Central from Abilene area through DFW metroplex/Denton areas.
Love the photograph!
Wow this plant is really beautiful!
Anna :)
I'm always impressed with people who know the Latin names for plants - I usually don't know the English name. Lovely photo.
That's quite a composition Troy. What an amazing structure this plant has.
Stunning picture!
Beautiful image Troy and I agree with your thoughts on word verification.
