Nice capture, Gary. Love the colors. #754775Gary Murison October 06, 2007
Thank you Kay. I always think that purple and green look very pleasant together :) #4888793Janet Daniel October 06, 2007
Beautiful...! Is this Thistle? Wonderful colors.Gary Murison October 06, 2007
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 !! #4890829Janet Daniel October 06, 2007
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? :-) #4890840Gary Murison October 06, 2007
Fancy a swap - one trumpet vine for one thistle? :)))))))) #4890873Janet Daniel October 06, 2007
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 #4890885Gary Murison October 06, 2007
I'll just 'head a root off' as it passes Scotland :) I never got the hang of this 'digging' lark :))))) #4890894Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
