Thistle flower

Sorry, been a bit "off-line" recently, just trying to catch up on everyone's comments. All are very much appreciated

My husband hated thistles, but I always thought they are so pretty.

Beautiful image of the thistle. At least they advertise their sharp danger with a beautiful vibrant flower.

@randystreat I like them to look at in the hedgerows - would rather they werent in my garden though!
@shutterbug49 The flowers are lovely aren't they Debbie, but not so much in my garden!
@bkbinthecity Thanks!
