Thistle

I have two good friends who have ranches in the Aspen area of Colorado and when I put this picture up on my site in FB they left comments about how much they hated Thistle (especially Canadian thistle! Understandably it does create huge issues with cattle and horses but I see the beauty in the plant! On the other hand, my son-in-law grew up on a ranch in Eastern Colorado and will not eat mushrooms because as a young kid, he saw mushrooms and fungus grow out of cow pies! It is one of my favorite foods! We all have our issues! Mine is calves liver! Yukkk as it is the blood filter! Lol but thank you for your perspective!
