jblue , 16 days ago Strongly considering collecting seeds and planting these around trees as revenge on squirrels for digging up seedlings and stealing fruit. 😈… 🐿️🐿️🐿️😱☠️ Cirsium horridulum, bristle thistle (aka horrid thistle) #bloomscrolling #florespondence #flores #blumen #flowers #FleurisTonFil #花 #NativePlants #hiking #nature #gardening #jardin #garten #squirrel #squirrels @plants Close-up of the yellow and brown thistle center showing intricate details and textures. The stamens are deep in the center and look like the end of spaghetti noodles squeezed into a bunch. A wider shot of the thistle. It is actually a very large plant. The leaves look like arugula if it were massively thorny and could be used as a weapon. The rolled up hedgehog of a flower sits on top of this giant vicious plant.
