They do love these plants. Nice to see some good old Scotch thistles thriving there, Lori.

They are so special...prickly, but special. Love the colour and the wildlife seems to gravitate. These plants and the lower growing species...were the bane of my barefoot childhood...oooo I wince just thinking of it.
