A Prairie Thistle...for Monday's Country Backroads

 

The Texas Thistle, Cirsium texanum, is not to be confused with the

beloved Scottish Thistle.

 

As you can see....

 the color is a real attention getter,

 especially when the sun is as bright as it is today.

 

 

You will find it along the roadways on the prairie,

 blooming from April to July.

 

As your new week begins today,

remember

 to enjoy all that is around you.
