It’s been awhile since I lived in the country. Can anyone tell me what this is? I just liked the look of it.

That, laddy, looks like a Thistle in it’s bare Winter glory. Perhaps it’s a picture of Scotland herself, stripped of purple by her English cousins.

Thank you kindly Alan. Those darn English are responsible for so much misery . . . Hope all is good (or at least better) with you and yours.

Alan is right. It’s a weed in the thistle family. In the U.S. we call it a teasel. You’re right, they are really kind of pretty.

Fifty blows with a Haggis for calling the Scots ‘English!
