I dunno either but it is gorgeous. :)

Wonderful image. It reminds me of the sign in front of the cafe called "Ciboulette". Maybe that's a hint?

Looks like what we call a Scotch Thistle

Interesting processing!

Agree with MA on this one, I believe ciboulette translates into chive

[Iguanasan]

I think you're right, edG. I've heard the "chive" reference. My French sucks. They are somewhat similar though:

thanks all. I found out (from a friend) that it's a knapweed-related to thistle.
