Thistle & Flowers

[DeeGee]

Fed up with waiting for birds. I went for a walk.

Ideally I wanted a Thistle on its own. But there seemed to be so many of them and with spikes up to an inch long I had to be cautious where I stood.

I don't know what this is for definate. I think it's cosmos - I could be wrong. It was growing through someone's fencing.

Thistles make really good subjects as you have proved just a slight shame you could not isolate it from the others

Thanks everyone.
Diana - I think you could be right. I walked back to them today and had a look over the fence as well. Seems to be a clump of them coming along very nicely.
