Patti, it really does look like some sort of thistle doesn't it? It's very striking whatever it is. This is a really good close-up.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
It is a thistle, but, foreign ones that have thrived over here....larger than our very own 'Scottish' thistle....

Something different from you Patti, and I like it. I think it could be a Nigella? I'm serious. They have this kind of blue flower and look a bit like a thistle. There's nice light and great DOF control here, Bob's right it's a great foofie.

Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
your presentation on this one is lovely. the subtle tones and shape of the frame enhance the beautiful purple of the flower.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Great shot Patti, I believe this is the flower of a Cardoon which is a member of the Artichoke family. The leaf stalks are a real treat in early spring. I grow them all over our property, they can get 8 to 10 feet tall, make great wind blocks and are a perenial here in Oregon. The Flowers, as you see from you great post, are great for arrangements in the fall.

Though no one can go back & make a brand new start, anyone can start from now & make a brand new ending.
Lovely shot, Patti, with some great shades and contrasts. As .ironjoe has commented, this is cardoon. It's a Victorian vegetable that dwindled in popularity becasue cooking the heads was such a fuss and bother it was hardly worth it. However, it seems now to be enjoying a comeback. Can't say I've ever tried them, but I'll take .ironjoe's word for it that the stalks are tasty!
