Could not have done it without your help monkey mind. Thanks again.
Monkey mind, looking at the leaves and flower I think Lecanthus peduncularis might be correct.
they look amazing, reminds me of some dark violet sunflowers - so beautiful - they are Asteraceae family, that´s the only thing I can tell
Hayde thanks for the suggestion, but I guess a thistle has a undergrowth beneath the flower? That seems to be absent in my spotting.
