Onopordum acanthium (Scotch Thistle)

Expect the Goldfinches will love the seeds of this.

Lets hope Siris. I think they are nesting in the Acer drummondii like they do most years

How charming .....pun!

Look lovely :-), I grew them one year till a couple toppled over and I tried to prop them upright ouch!!

Ouch Kathy, lol I can save you seed if you dare grow again

Mine are about the same Dawn still popping up in strange places all from your seed :o))

Thanks Dawn but I still have seed from mine :-)

Looks like once you have them, you have them forever :-)
