    Not sure about the top one, could be a Zinnia. Second looks like an Echinops and the third is one of the ornamental cabbages. All growable in the UK.

        1) Looks like a Chrysanthemum which has very different leaves to a Zinnia.
        2) I thought it looks more like a Sea Thistle than Globe Thistle.

            I've grown 3) in the past, ornamental kale. It has the same issues as growing the type you eat as a vegetable so it needs netting against butterflies/caterpillars and pigeons, otherwise it is dead easy.

              Why do I always put Echinops when I mean Eryngium? Odd.

                  IMG_0584.JPG IMG_0587.JPG Have recently found this fungus growing at the bottom of my garden, the area has compost bins and is relatively not used much.
                  Any idea of what it is and if it's poisonous for dogs or humans

                  It is one of the coral fungi. Not toxic as far as I know.
