Nodding Thistle

Nodding Thistle
The Nodding or Musk Thistle is my favourite species of Thistle. A member of the Aster family, this plant grows in overgrazed pastures and waste areas. It was introduced from Europe and North Africa. I love the pattern made by the inner and outer bracts. This particular plant was seen on a walk at Nose Hill on Wednesday.
