Thistle ball blossoms... by marlboromaam

Thistle ball blossoms...

Sadly, the frost burned this lovely blossom and buds up before it could reach its final stages of beauty. But you can see other photos of it here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=259
Truly beautiful! The light reflecting on the transparent "beard" is fantastic

@blueberry1222 Yes, they do. I wish this one had reached maturity. On another note, I got a new baby cactus for my kitchen window. I couldn't find another bishop's cap, but I thought it was rather cute. =)
