I hadn&#39;t heard about those before. The color is beautiful and reminds me of the thistles here. Thanks for interesting info. I always find it amazing how folks in the past and present use plants. The spikes on the Yucca plant were used by the American Indians as sewing needles, and by the pioneers. <br /><br />It would be a perfect flower to offer a Klingon woman. ~smiles~Savanna Kougarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954003377229410424.post-24954308907583466542011-09-01T21:01:11.972+01:002011-09-01T21:01:11.972+01:00Wonderful photos, Lindsay! i especially loved the bluebell wood.Donna Fletcher Crowhttp://www.donnfletchercrow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954003377229410424.post-75251578223957328312011-08-27T08:48:01.691+01:002011-08-27T08:48:01.691+01:00Hi Savanna - it&#39;s a teazel, used in the cloth industry to tease out yarn and cloth. They grow to over 5 feet in height and are wonderfully spiky. The bees and hover flies love the tiny purple flowers. It looks like the kind of flower a Klingon warrior would offer his mate.<br /><br />I agree with you about the idealized medieval summer!Lindsay Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954003377229410424.post-50064851647091924602011-08-26T21:46:58.406+01:002011-08-26T21:46:58.406+01:00What gorgeous, gorgeous pics. How I would love to live a medieval summer, the idealized version, of course. <br /><br />The first flower pic, is that a thistle of some kind?Savanna Kougarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
