The rest of the thistle story....

Not a very good picture, but am going to show the entire plant.  Look close at the top of the fence and you can see the bud I captured in yesterday's post.
And here we have the flower...I take a photo of them every chance I get.  Now tell, me, how many do I really need?
And this is after the bloom is gone...still pretty even at this stage.

    You need a lot of them as I would never get tired of looking at them. Very pretty flower and you captured it very nicely.

    It has been educational for me to see these at different stages. I just love them. Have a good night.

    Beautiful flowers! I can see why you take a lot of photos of them. There are some things you just need to take photos of over and over. That's why I have umpty ump thousand photos on my computer.

    Yes, they are quite beautiful, and I do so love your second photo. Stunning! Thistles are a no-no on our farm, so I always feel somewhat guilty if I actually photograph them to show their beauty.

    I like the before and after pictures of this bloom. When in full bloom it is very pretty.

    Thistles are pretty but no I don't think the neighbours would approve. Maybe you could get one of those beautiful ornamental Scottish thistles?

    I like taking photos of them, too. I think every stage of their flowering is interesting or beautiful.
