Is this some kind of Echinops before the flower had fully developed?

Most of my plants are succulents which need little care

It is 11.00AM on Saturday here so I think Oron is probably still fast asleep. I think it's more likely to be some kind of thistle - Onopordon? than an Echinops.

Hilary,
Although your photo is taken from above and doesnt show the entire plant and particulars, i would say by this compact, multistem growth that it is Echinops graecus

Trevor,
Many thanks for the try.
Oron,
Many thanks for the identification. It must have looked lovely later in the year
