Description
This vintage botanical illustration of a pink thistle, a beautiful, ubiquitous and very prickly wildflower is one of a trio of wildflower prints I’ve made available here
Cirsium thistles are known for their effusive flower heads, usually purple, rose or pink, also yellow or white.
Some species in particular are cultivated in gardens and wildflower plantings for their aesthetic value and/or to support pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Some species dubbed weeds by various interest groups can also provide these benefits. Cirsium vulgare, for instance, ranked in the top 10 for nectar production in a UK study.
