Help[Opinions] Re: Thanks all, that's what I figured
in reply to a message by Malk
I like the imagry connected to thistles. They are bold, strong, hardy and couragous. Thistle reminds me of the Devil's Club plant. The Devil's Club was a symbol of physical and supernatural / spiritual strength to many different tribes of the Pacific Northwest. Just like the thistle they both have medicinal properties.
Then as you mentioned the thistle is the symbol of Scotland. Also it is often apart of many family crests. Thistles, cornflowers and many other plants were commonly embroidered on gentlemens waistcoats, coats and embroidered on womens dresses.
I find the thistle flowers to be pretty when depicted and in real life. And as gail mentioned they often attract birds that eat the seeds. I actually saw some thistles this morning near my bus stop.
The only time I dislike thistles is when I'm not being careful walking around a field. They are usually easy to avoid if you are paying attention.
