Oxtongue.

Or Helminthotheca Echioides ! I did have to look this up. A very prickly little number but it does have rather nice flowers. 

I headed off for my breast screening appointment in the afternoon while Mr Tbay picked up the children from school and pre school. The screening is a little uncomfortable but I alway do so urge women to have this done as it is a huge life saver. I am a great believer if its available take it when it comes to screening processes or vaccinations!
