Help need with indentification

Dear All
My wife bought this plant and now can't recall what it is, could anyone help please, cheers

 

Possibly Papaver (opium poppy) that will bloom late spring/early summer next year.

 

many thanks,

 

Sorry Sheal,

Wrong type of leaf for Papaver Somniferum ( Opium Poppy ). They have glaucus bue/green leaves. You may have been thinking of a Papaver Orientale ( Oriental Poppy ) but I don't think it is.

I think it's an Echinops Ritro ( Globe Thistle ).

 

Hmmm, maybe you're right Anthony, but that's what mine look like as young plants. Perhaps @Jacko1967 will be kind enough to prove the point for us with a picture, when it eventually blooms.
