RE: Colorchallenge: SundayPurple Hedgerow Thistles
Looks very nice there. I was just mowing and spotted a Michigan sized thistle I believe. It has a proper pre-flower bulb taking shape. I hope it flowers for next week. I swear it was as tall as me on my mower lol!!
We had one grow outside our backdoor last year that reached the eave!
My husband made sure to chop it down, or I did, anyway, we made sure it was down before it seeded. Kind of miss it this year. Somewhere I have a beautiful shot of a butterfly on one of the blossoms.
That sounds like an amazing photo. You'll have to find it as it sounds like a beauty with the butterfly.
I'll put it in the queue for
Saturday night.Sunday. Get my days and colors sorted out!I am hoping to get a nice bloom off of it before I get rid of it as well!
They attract the butterflies bees and spiders and other interesting critters. Great for photographs.
And I've heard they proliferate almost as fast as Kudzu. Ok maybe 50% as fast.
That would be brilliant if it flowers on time, or the next week. Get the photo.. I've just been out amongst the hedgerows again and got a close up of the thistles. Very high details for the next purple color challenge.
I look forward to seeing it. I am also happy to see our coin going in the right direction today! :)
it is? I'm not looking for a while. Just no point to add more distraction. It is what it is until I need it.
Very true. I like to root for it, like in sports rooting for the home team lol.
Hip hip horay! Go steem!
Awesome Blossom!
Wait until you see the close ups I got today. There are little worlds within worlds.
Alright! I think we have a Group Outing to Thistle Farm planned for Sunday. Obviously!!
Who knew! There's a whole thistle fan club here! LOL
It must be the Celt in us somewhere. Remembering the lochs and mountains of the highlands? :)
who me? ... no I remember the plains of Texas, USA ... truth! I'm actually wondering where a certain piece is that I spent hours reworking over a decade ago. These days all that work can be done in better software with a tweak or two. .... I'll have to spend some time browsing my Texas photos. I'll browse my Kentucky photos for last year's beast too.
I wouldn't mind being able to remember the locks and mountains of the highlands though!
Maybe in a past life lol. Happy hunting for those photos
You're not the first to say I should be in the Highlands
