The humble Thistle

Very pretty .... I had some of those in my previous garden .... in fact I had way too many!

I have far too many too. There's an eccentric a few doors down who has a garden full, so everyone around here is blighted.

they are nice though,..

They are, just not in the quantities that we have around here!
Still, at least he's not cultivating Mares tail!!

opposite me across the road is infested with it, i just hope it wont cross under the road.

Mares tail spreads by spores I think.........

Ohh don't say that Meanie, i was hoping it was by rhizomatic runner or roots..
