Thistle

This thistle and its spikes is a whopper - glad its not in my garden!

It looks as if it would be painful to get too close, but your photos show some fantastic detail

Always good to see a healthy plant. Like this one I am pleased that it is someone else’s garden.

Who would allow such a spikey specimen in the garden?

Wicked sharp points.

Just looking at those spikes hurts my hands! A great capture, though (and a good think you don't have to deal with it :)

It seems to be a good year for the thistle !!
