Acanthus mollis

IMG_2487 [Acanthus mollis]
 
A very common, perennial plant, native to Mediterranean countries.
It usually grows at low altitudes and forms colonies of plants
in uncultivated fields, stony scrub lands and roadsides.

 Its tall, erect stalk - usually 1-1.5m tall - and its beautiful, white flowers
probably explain why it is considered ornamental
and is hosted in many gardens.
