I would like to know what the name of this plant is. It was photographed at Mashraqa in Lebanon, west on the mountain ridge from Qartaba. Elevation about 1050 m; early July. Thank you.
It's an Eryngium. I can't tell you exactly which but there are many different species. You can see some on my website at http://www.botanicalstockphotos.com/photos-eryngium-224.htm .
