Closeup side view of a purple thistle bloom. The sun is shining, with greenery and a blue sky in the background. A black and yellow bumblebee gathers nectar in the soft, thin petals.

Four thistles in the sun. Two are in full purple, circular bloom. Two more are spiky green with hints of purple in the center. A bumblebee feeds on one of the mature ones.

The intricate beauty of thistles captured in black and white.

Operation #FuckTheThistles has begun.

4 x 2 litres bottles of #doublestrength vinegar & 8 x spray bottles have just been delivered.

I think my neighbours might start having unexplained urges for fish & chips.

I have already used some of the vinegar for tonight’s #dinner - #CornedBeef.

A spray bottle full of double strength vinegar & a 2 litre bottle of the vinegar.

I managed to at least go postal on the water trough #thistles.

Of course the “heavy duty pruning #gloves” I wore as protection from the thorns were as useful as wet tissue.

Plus, I chose the hottest part of the day - plus both troughs were full of thistle seeds, so I had to empty full troughs & replace with fresh water.

My knee, hip & spine have called it a day. #gardening

The water troughs after refilling & attacking nearby thistles

Some of the thistles cut down. Nasty spikey, thorny things!

Here's a pre-smartphone, awful digital camera memory of #Scotland. With very #Scottish #thistles and #LochGarry, which is famous for looking like a map of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It was a long time ago, but the memories will last a lifetime ☺️

A close-up of several large, spiky thistles with purple flowers dominates the foreground. Behind them, a wide Scottish loch stretches into the distance, curving slightly to the right. Rolling green hills rise on the far side of the loch, fading into hazy blue mountains under a light sky. A few trees are visible on the right side of the frame.

The Dukes of Lorraine adopted the thistle as part of their coat of arms with the motto: Qui s'y frotte s'y pique, meaning "who touches it, pricks oneself".

10 things you might not know about thistles.
