Thistle

For want of a blip and having nothing else of interest today (unless you’d like a blip of a set of accounts?) here’s a very very prickly thistle specimen that is in our garden (I think it is a Giant Cotton Thistle but am not positive).

This plant is standing at least 8 feet tall at the moment, but is next to the railway platform so I can get level with some of it by standing on the platform. It’s a very pretty colour too, both the flowers and the foliage.
