Purple thistles

I photographed these purple thistles a couple of afternoons ago:

My brother reckons that there has been a decline in the amount of these purple thistles this year, which is a shame if that is the case. The plants remind me of the teazels we had in Oregon, although those are native to Europe and are considered an invasive species in the United States

  1. I don't think I've ever seen thistle or it's been a long time. I used to love Winnie the Pooh and with the mood I am in, it reminds me of Eeyore!
