Oh my gosh did you plant that thistle?? I go into full annihilation mode when I see one sprouting in my garden. We have mild winters (Napier, New Zealand) that don't kill off or sometimes don't even knock back weeds, so if I let even one of those thistles flower I would be overrun in a heartbeat lol
We too have a monster-sized thistle that we've left growing in the front flowerbed. The flowers are pretty and we'll pull it before it goes to seed - though the goldfinches do love the seed.
Pretty pictures of pretty flowers! I have lilies blooming but not the day lilies. Always a joy to see roses in bloom! The birds appreciate the thistle!
