Eryngium proteiflorum
Leaves are very hard and have little spikes on the margins.
I found this flower growing at altitudes up to 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) in one of the volcanoes of central Mexico.
It's a very cool plant!!!

Nice!!! Thanks for your help KarenL!!! Yeah, apparentlly it's a Eryngium proteiflorum also known as sea holly or "Cardo Santo". Greetings!!!
Possibly a species of Erynigum. It's called Sea Holly in England & survives in very harsh conditions. Very architectural!
