| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French] |
Cirsium vulgare (Spear Thistle, Plumed thistle, Roadside thistle; syn. C. lanceolatum) is a species of the genus Cirsium, native throughout Europe, Asia and northern Africa, but also present in North America other countries as an invasive weed.
It is a tall biennial thistle, forming a rosette of leaves in the first year, and a flowering stem 1-2.5 m tall in the second year. The leaves are very spiny, deeply lobed, up to 15-25 cm long (smaller on the upper part of the flower stem). The inflorescence is 2.5-5 cm diameter, pink-purple, with all the florets of similar form (no division into disc and ray florets). The seeds are 5 mm long, with a downy pappus which assists in wind dispersal. |

Hi Robi,
I like your photo; it is quite busy actually with nice light and a lot of depth through blurring background.
Well done

Hi Robi,
very nice colours, details, light, focus, and pov. The contrast between pink and green is great. The blur at the back is good to apreciate the flower. Well done!
