Plant of the Day

Monday 1 August 2022

Considered as a wildflower or a serious weed Cirsium arvense (creeping thistle) grows on grassland and uncultivated soil. It spreads by lateral roots which are brittle and readily re-shoot if broken. In addition it spreads by air-borne seeds which are an important food source for wild bird species.

A few more drawings from this summer: roadside thistles and a couple of birds at Zooamerica, which does a great job of focusing exclusively on North American species. #travelsketching #creepingthistle #cirsiumarvense #spearthistle #cirsiumvulgare #burrowingowl #athenecunicularia #roadrunner #geococcyxcalifornianus #sciart https://www.instagram.com/p/BseYd8BnEFB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8trvvcivexxt

A flower doesn't love you nor hate you, it's just only exists. ~Mike White 🌸💮🏵 . . . . . I don't know if this is a #CreepingThistle.. 😂
