Hi Tony,
I would go for ferula.
The unh discal line looks right. Dryas is supposed to have bluish pupils although I've never photographed one.
Here is one of my ferula from this month (Hautes Alpes) which I prepared earlier for comparison: :D

Thanks, Chris, I was rather afraid that that might be the case... Rose-tinted specs again. :mrgreen: .
