Thistle. Also to be abolished a.s.a.p.


Looks like Echinops to me...nice plant if one gets seedheads off in time

Both of them could do with waiting to see a flower. Although the first
looks like one of the willowherbs, it could be a number of other things.
Likewise the second could be a UK native thistle or it could be
something more decorative and less inclined to spread. I wouldn't get
rid of either just yet.


You're right, of course. But our friend had better be on guard when
they do flower, and have 'em out if my hasty reaction was justified.
