Thistle’s got beautiful flowers and deadly thorns. This one is about 4.5 feet tall. We don’t have a lot of it, thankfully, and recently bought a sprayer to treat it. Our goats actually ignored it until it started flowering, now it’s apparently a tasty treat. It reminds me of the movie Braveheart. 🙂
Can You Believe Goats Eat This Stuff?

I don’t care for the thistle plant itself but I’ve always kind of liked the flowers. 🙂
