We have a lot of Bull Thistle here. Very common weed that's tough to keep away. Gets up to 8 feet tall in good conditions - but most only get to about 6 foot here. Believe me, you don't want to walk into one, or step barefoot on a young one just coming up in the lawn. Pretty blooms, but the rest of the plant is nature's barbed wire !!! :shock:

The one in the picture is outside my shop. Being it's the national plant of Scotland, and she being of Scottish decent, Melissa wanted to save one to see how it would grow. :roll:
