I didn't think about that!
(look real close, they're everywhere!)
It started growing last night.
"Down" popping out from the purple flowers.
I found it fascinating!
When I awoke this morning I was amazed at how much more down had come out of a single flower.
Just like bubbles overflowing in a bathtub.
I didn't want to disturb the down as I wanted my son to see it.
But I couldn't wait around as I had to do some treasure hunting!
I was crossing my fingers hoping when my son saw it he wouldn't start blowing it around the house and we'd be covered with Thistledown!
Whew, he didn't!
I don't know that I'll have Thistle bouquets in the future, but they sure are pretty..... outside.... in someone else's yard!

They are very pretty when in bloom and now I see why so many get reseeded in my yard from across the road.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I had no idea that thistles did that...another thing I have learned it blogland. Nature never ceases to amaze.
Hi Debbie,
Who knew?? I can see the beautiful bouqet you started with as I type this and am amazed how plants change from one phase to another. I think that's why I love gardening so.
I also wanted to let you know I have an award for you over at my blog. :)
Have a great day!
Hugs ~ Jo
