Description
Thank you for taking the time to view my photoMy picture today :North Brabant, Netherlands
The Nodding Thistle is easy to recognize by the large heads with purple-red tube flowers, which are at the top of the long erect stems
These heads can be up to 7.5 cm wide
They usually stand alone on the barely branched stem and almost always bent to the side
The stem is winged with spiny edging
These frames are the continuation of the sessile scattered elongated leaves, which, like the Curly Thistle, have a spiky leaf margin
