Purple Thistles

“Purple Thistles” reminds me of Scottish kilts and prickly thistles on the hillsides.  In fact when I was a little girl I played on a hill where thistles grew. They are curious flowers.

“One legend has it a sleeping party of scots warriors were saved from ambush by an invading Norse army when one of the enemies trod on the spikey plant.  His anguished cry roused the slumbering warriors who duly vanquished the invaders.”  from http://www.visitscotland.com
