Veronica, I have a question for you. A while back you posted 2 pictures of Thistles one yellow and one pink. I had never seen the pink one and had wondered what it was called. I looked in my books and none of them showed that type. Last Sunday when we went to Tyler we found them along the road, I don't know if they are native, but they sure are amazing.
I am hoping that you or one of our plant detectives will be able to identify it for me.
Here is the picture of the plant.
