Globe Thistle (Echinops)
I like this plant a lot. From what I read about it a lot of people grow it from seed, but it's a perennial and so it must be sold in plant form too. I have never seen it for sale at a store though.
Kallstroemia is a member of the caltrop family, Zygophyllaceae, which includes the well-known creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). Another wide-spread, but not native, caltrop is the goat-head or puncture vine (Tribulus terrestris). This notorious plant’s Latin name means "scourge of the earth."
