If you didn’t know this or maybe you did. On the Bull Thistle the stocks are edible and flower part they say though I have never tried. Oh and when the stock is dry you can use them for a hand drill for primitive fire making and also the thistle for a birds nest for your tinder bundle.
Very interesting. I wish I would have studied this plant more. Perhaps I will venture up there again soon and look further. I take shot like that and then later find out I really don’t know what the plant was. Usually, I luck out with the help of someone like you.
I could not tell. At first I thought a thistle. It was roadside with a lot of yarrow and wild sweet peas. There were none actually still blooming to get a different perspective. I cannot recall having seen this before.
