I was very taken by the symbolism of this plant I saw lots of - my wildflower book tells me it's a creeping thistle. In its prime it is very purple and prickly. In order to carry on the species tho, it bursts open to reveal a very soft downy-like seed. I can verify that it's fluffiness is as soft as it looks. I'm feeling a bit prickly today, needing to protect myself with spines leaves, wonder what process I have to go to in order to access the fluffy insides?
