Possibly one for Jevs, does anyone know what those giant thistle looking plants are in Preston Park, between the tennis courts. I think they're lovely and the bees seem to love them too.

Giantus Thistlus
Beat me to it!I've not seen them, but the description could be cynara cardunculus or cardoon.

This. Spectacular thistle type plants which are edible. I divided one from Preston Park and put them in the Rockery. The only downsides are they do get attacked by blackfly and they can be a bit unruly and fall over.
