Frosted thistles


A frosty morning. 

As well as being spiky, these spear thistle leaf rosettes are covered in little hairs, 
which is why they catch so much frost.


And on this last image you can see the buds in the centre of the rosette.  
They are waiting for summer weather so that they can grow into tall flower stems.
