.... yes, and I've a feeling I've seen them in dried flower arrangements too.

They're really pretty, aren't they. Thanks for finding them Ann.

I am sure, thistles every where, regardless of genera attract insects and they also have beautiful inflorescences as long as you don't get personal with the plant they are gorgeous. This one is no exceptional. Gorgeous plant and picture Doc!!!!
