you all probably know this about thistles already

But don't ever let a thistle grow thinking it's a nifty-looking weed and you can get rid of it later. By the time you get around to it because it's threatening to spread seed, that's a *lot* of viciously spiny you've got there.

Yes, I know this problem very well. I just let it spread the seed, a decision I'm sure I'll regret next year.

On the up side, the butterflies and bees absolutely loved the blossoms.
