I like these weirdo thistles https://octodon.social/media/QZhFut2jZ01qMJi74RI
@fobo Centaurea, probably C. montana. It’s a Eurasian plant that’s invasive (but pretty). Not a thistle, but same family, thus the resemblance. Aka perennial bachelor’s buttons.
(Were you asking? This stuff just comes out of me if someone’s not perfectly clear. 😉)
@fobo Just try to make them budge (they won’t, by the way). 😉 That’s a relief that you don’t mind, as I tend to overshare without anyone asking.
I do think they’re beautiful, but I’d like these better if I hadn’t spent so much time trying to permanently “budge” them. 🤨 (I was a professional gardener before I had kids.)
