#thistles
Beginning with thistles. I saw thistles on a ranch in Utah as I was forming the idea for this piece and found them hard to ignore. They exhibited toughness, and dare I say, persistence.

Dandelions dont usually have spikes, are you sure they aren't thistles? Mine love thistles, and they're safe to eat for rabbits too because they have protective fur in their cheeks 😊 You can sometimes see it when they yawn 😂

Election day in the US. #VoteBlue! Get out there and turn things around for the better! In the language of flowers, Globe thistles represent defiance, independence, and strength due to their ability to thrive in harsh conditions and their #flowers are everlasting #BloomScrolling #Garden #Blue

The little doodle/chibi thistles that pop up are always so cute...

Fun Autumnal Ride this afternoon, lovely day, feeling happy and full of energy
pretty tree turning gold and tree-trunk bench amid thorny thistles

Smack down of Biblical proportions!
Matthew 7:15-16 (KJV)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

I really missed them over the summer. We saw them a lot at the nature reserve where they enjoyed the thistles and teasels. Nice to have them back at home again :D

lol yeah, dandelions can be tricky! but thistles are such a fun plant for bunnies—love that protective cheek fur! 🐰

We thought these were #thistles, but they turned out to be prickly sow-thistles—relatives in the same big #daisy family! Their little yellow flowers and fluffy white seed heads caught our attention in the sunshine.

We have nettles in Texas. We just call them thistles.

Must Talk About Thistles!!

Winter Wildflowers, French Creek, Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania

Thistles and weeds along the creek’s edge shed their foliage as well, arranging themselves into bouquets for a final, desiccated display before storms and deep snow bury their remains.

Your day will be like...

thistles in the north wind, blown across plains, clinging to each other in clusters.

I hope you were able to tune into today's show on @cjsrfm.bsky.social Two hours of musical bliss, IMO. Here's the playlist. Back next Sunday at 2 o'clock Central. #MusicSky

Grey-white banks of fog to the horizon,
Vivid green of grass and darker green of thistles and nettles,
Violent purple of thistle flowers,
Pure white of Mute and Whooper Swans,
Mixed browns of Greylag and Canada Geese,
Bright red of a Robin's breast,
These are the colours of a November morn.

“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
