    They are unique but they are old thistles.

    The petals at the base are super tough and the whole thing is prickly. I mean yeah it’s all perspectives but I’ll take a soft flower any day.

        LOL that checks out.
        But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.

          I used to have them in my own yard. My newer place doesn’t have any and I wish I did!

                (⁠☞⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞ Sure.

                But maybe keep your “non-spreading” thistle to yourself if you can.

                  If you think I’m crazy, you should know that some people even make tea out of thistle.

                    And dandelion. That’s mostly from them being everywhere and easy to grow. And hard to do anything else with.

                    Humans would do anything for extra calories or nutrients once upon a time.
