Now see, I love thistles, and so do the butterflies, but none of my neighbors do. I understand why, but then again, the insects just flock to them…. (And they are cool looking, as you’ve noted visually above.)
I love this plant. I have an huge one in my garden !! Your pictures are so gorgeous.
Love, love, love that third photo! I can feel it right through my screen.
