52 Week Challenge - Opposites

Prickly and soft. That is what thistles are all about!
Their flowers are so soft and then turn into even softer and more delicate seed heads.
But - their stems are so prickly!

I had a get pushed challenge for opposites once, and really struggled to think of something. I really like what you have done here. A real opposite.

I can almost feel those soft and fluffy seed heads. I know the thorns are wicked.
