Anyone want some of the seeds / flower heads when they ripen?

It is an impressive 'architectural' plant!

Seymour - Now I get it. I was thinking of Seymour Rass who did a very different kind of film

A striking architectural plant that brings great vertical accents to the flower bed...

Cynara cardunculus by the look of it, not an edible variety. Great plants though.
