I wonder from which natural enemy they are trying to protect themselves with the prickly leaves and hairs -insects I suppose. Interesting and beautiful.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Yes wildflowers do sound better. :-) Very pretty too, a large field of all different wildflowers with with all the butterflies flittin' about is a wonderful sight. Very nice job Eve.

I'm glad you didn't point your lens straight at this guy..he's pretty, but pretty prickly too. The only thing I can think of to do to improve this is to put it up for sale someplace so people can take it home and enjoy it on their walls :)

Isn't it amazing how the prickliest plants can still have such beautiful flowers, or how the beautiful rose can have thorns? I love the colors on this and excellent clarity. Very nice closeup.
