Description

Up close (macro view) of a wild Thistle. They grow wild all around here in the midwest and the birds really love them. I keep several bushes growing in my yard just for the birds, and they are also a beautiful wild flower. When they fully blossom they turn a beautiful pink. I captured this view of one of the flowers still in its infancy and so it was still a beautiful red as it opens up.

Thistle:
The common thistle is one of the most well-known and widespread thistle plants. Growing up to 5 feet tall in fields, meadows, and along roadsides, their spiky stems and leaves have prodded many a hiker, yet despite their prickly disposition, they have been intentionally cultivated for thousands of years.

Common thistles are perennial herbs that produce large, bulbous, purple flowers, which are quite striking, but not striking enough to shake the “weed status” given to this plant by green thumbs around the globe.
