Thank you Kay. I always think that purple and green look very pleasant together :) #4888793

Beautiful...! Is this Thistle? Wonderful colors.
I'll need to view your gallery more often. I admire your work. :-) #4890683

Thank you very much for your kind words Janet. Yes, it is a thistle - there are loads of them around here - in fact, I had a real nightmare trying to get rid of them from my garden - they have long roots that can break off quite easily, and if you leave just a little bit of the root - up pops another thistle !! #4890829

I've had the same problem with some other flowers (trumpet vine). Isn't it funny how when you want them to thrive, they don't, and when you don't, you can't get rid of them? :-) #4890840

Fancy a swap - one trumpet vine for one thistle? :)))))))) #4890873

You've got a deal. But the roots on these vines "go all the way to China" as they say, so you'll have to dig it up. LOL #4890885

I'll just 'head a root off' as it passes Scotland :) I never got the hang of this 'digging' lark :))))) #4890894
