Okay.. three diferent folks identified this flower which I originally labelled as a “Mystery Flower.” Here is what it says about it online: Mexican prickly poppy (Argemone mexicana), also known as goatweed, Mexican thistle, prickly poppy, and yellow thistle, is a member of the poppy family
Although I thought this was a thistle, I couldn’t find it by Googling it and my plant identifier said it wasn’t a flower! Finally I took a photo of my photo and reduced it in size and sharpened it and put it through the plant identifier again and sure enough, milk thistle! All in all I spent nearly an hour trying to post and identify. Crazy.
For Cee’s FOTD
The hills of Montenegro were filled with these flowers. They look like purple thistles…but I’m not sure that they were. The air was full of the fuzz that carried their seeds. Click on photos to enlarge.
