Wife & I were walking the dogs... our normal routine is to follow the trails at the local school's nature center/preserve.
While going down one of the more remote paths, we ran across a very large patch of Scottish Bull Thistle!
All were very well shaped, and many in full bloom.
I am certainly no gardener, but it was impressive.
I may take the camera, next time, to try to get some pix... I'd really like to bring some back to the yard, to grow. Will have to do some reading, about propagating them.
