Thistle...

When these bloom they have pretty flowers. Up close you see the thorns and spikes. This is not something you want to snuggle up to!

Have they already bloomed??

I think my husband must have had several run-ins with thistles. He hated them! But I do think they're pretty in bloom.

@carolmactx Hi Carol, yes, I think so. If not, I'll post when they do. I walk by this plant every day.
