I am absolutely not a fan of thistles in my garden, because they are impossible to remove. Anywhere else, however, and I think they are some of the most beautiful flowers. I saw some of the biggest every in Florida. Some must have been 3 or 4 feet tall.
You captured the colours beautifully. I’ve never gotten close enough to notice the darker purple at the edges.
True, thistles are not very good garden flowers, but in our parks they are wonderful. I have used a stylized image of a butterfly on a thistle as my trademark for many years.
