Oops! Found another gap in my photos, so posting an iPhone shot of thistles on the golf course, taken a few days ago.

So this is Scotland's national flower. Nicely captured.

I love thistles.

So beautiful, and they really are an iconic bloom that makes us all think of Scotland!

@yorkshirekiwi Ha ha ... I do a bit of that to be fair, but on this occasion, I was waiting for hubby to tee off! Ladies' tee a good bit away from men's at this hole. :-)
