Even some small purple flowers hung on thistles growing between the road and Sévre flowing in background, but still some food for a small bee at the end of the day, and for me, a little more in one of my photos taken in several times. Once, downloaded my pictures on my computer that I realized her presence.


"Chardon" has the same etymological origin that "cardoon" variety of artichoke which consumes the coasts.

The destruction of unwanted as thistles is a regulatory requirement in many regions.

The thistle is the "sweet" love, and sizerins finches! It's also known as "cabaret birds."

Some countries in Africa are thistles producers. The thistle is rich in vegetable oils.

They are part of carline thistle who are thistles biennial plant, 70 cm to 1.5 m high. stem very common, once used in the textile industry served carding wool and felt to make clothing.


Symbolic:

Symbol of the pain of Christ and the Virgin.

Emblem of Scotland

Bonjour Corinne,
Les fleurs les plus humbles sont souvent les plus intéressantes!
Très jolie présentation avec un excellent DOF et une attrayante composition!
J'aime beaucoup les textures ce ces fleurs dépouillées de leurs pétales contre ce fond brouillé. Très simple et efficace!
Bravo! Annie

Bonsoir Corinne ,
Un bon close up bien net . Beau trio de chardon bien disposé dans la composition . Bonne idée de les avoir pris même en fin de floraison . Belle capture également de cette petite abeille en plein travail . J'aime bien ta nouvelle signature et ta note toujours intéressante.

Hi Corinne...
Beautiful shot...
Nice composition...
Best regards...

Bonjour Corinne,

A very beautiful, sharp capture of this wild plant and lovely composition.

However, I don't think it is a thistle, I think it is a teasel (Common Name: Teasel
Genus: Dipsacus, Species: fullonum). I took a shot of one recently which is very similar to your photograph.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Corinne,

Commentaires très fouillés sur ce chardon pas très avenant mais qui, fleuri, cache bien son "jeu".
Jolie macro.
Amicalement
Laurent

Bon matin Corinne,
Et oui, il vaut mieux ne pas ignorer les piquants de ces charmants chardons!
Joli travail sur la précision des détails et un fond aquatique bien choisi!
Un texte très instructif, à l'époque des ducs de Lorraine on jouait beaucoup à l'épée et au fleuret...
Bonne journée
Amitiés et bisous
Odile

Hi Corinne,

So when you were trying to capture the thistles and the boat passed you by with the 2 men rowing all the way to Canada, you still proceeded in making pictures of the thistles. We have them here near the water (and that is everywhere in Holland) as well.
Lovely details against the water.

Bonjour Corinne.
Merci encore pour cette note.
Il est rare de voir cette plante inoccupé, je ne suis pas surpris que tu aies capté un insecte dessus. Souvent, elle est "habitée" par de jolies petites araignées. J'ai fait découvrir doucement ses piquants à mon petit bout de chou pas plus tard que dimanche.
Merci pour cette jolie photo.
Antoine.

Bonsoir Corinne
