Brilliant customer service from the start with an easy website to navigate. Unfortunately when my order arrived the print was damaged, contacted Carol who sent another out for me straight away and kept me updated along the way. Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you. - Kim S, Pontefract
Foliage mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
The detailed, almost geometric structure of the globe thistle bud creates a clean and contemporary focal point, well suited to living rooms, kitchens, or interiors with a modern or nature-inspired style. Its subtle tones and strong form add interest without overwhelming the space.
The globe thistle (Echinops) is known for its distinctive spherical flower heads, which open into striking blue, pom-pom-like blooms. Before flowering, the bud forms a tightly packed structure of pointed bracts, creating a geometric, almost spiked appearance. These plants are often found in gardens and wildflower settings, valued for both their architectural form and their attraction to pollinators.
In this image, the globe thistle bud is captured in close-up, revealing its intricate, radial pattern. The green tones dominate, with subtle hints of pale tips suggesting the flower yet to open. The soft, blurred background isolates the subject, drawing attention to its texture and symmetry.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.
Globe Thistle foliage foam backed prints are printed to order and usually shipped within 3-4 business days. Please allow a further 2-3 days from the despatch date to receive your item (not including weekends or bank holidays).
Prices shown are inclusive of delivery to Mainland UK. Shipping to other available areas calculated at checkout.

Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
Wonderful card that was delivered quickly and exceptional service. Will definitely buy more in the future.
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Today I had the pleasure of picking up a framed and mounted print of 'Dandelion Clock' its absolutely stunning. The clarity is just crazy!! Now to decide where to put it!! Really beautiful work.
The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
