THISTLE BUD




Found this along the highway near Victoria, Texas. I'm glad I've never tripped and fallen on one of these.
Thistles are quite common in some parts of Texas. I wonder if the thistles of England are a different species.

    P.S. Do you have a version with greater contrasts as well?

    This looks very spiny! (Duh!) I like the enhanced contrast one best.

    both look nice - though the first one is perhaps a wee bit less scary!

    wouldn't want to sit on this, but it is lovely and delicate to view!
