Echinops - globe thistle - dried flower bunch with silvery blue flowers on pale stems. Popular in British flower arranging, these spiky relatives of the thistle add an alternative option for Scottish themed weddings or where a metallic tint is preferred. Echinops also adds form to a dried flower bouquet. The dried flower stems are just under 60cm long with around five stems. Each globe thistle head is about 1 to 3 cm across. Fresh flowers sourced from a florist and dried on the South Coast of England in our own UK workshop.
