I have been photographing a thistle that is growing along side of the house. Its beautiful and the neighbors said it was a weed. I've heard that before but know that a weed is any plant you don't want growing 'there'. As i'm happy with the thistle and its beautiful colors, its as good as anything i've planted - however, the needles are very sharp and pierce even my heavy gloves; i'm very careful with it.

As the plant is a couple weeks old, it is beginning to fade so i pruned it -this is the unpruned shot- with the idea it'll last longer and grown new blooms; time will tell. The whole plant looks likes this:
It feels like i've just begun to work on the photographic portrait of this plant ... we'll see together where it leads.
