thistle

Too wet to venture far today so this is from yesterday's expedition.
I think it's a thistle but it doesn't have any prickles.

Thistles are rather beautiful,I think, quite a confident flower standing up straight & tall!

Your photo brought happy memories :-) We had our honeymoon in Scotland and I can remember Nigel attached a spray of thistles to the bumper of our little blue mini.

@jk62 That's a lovely story. What a romantic!
