I profiled Bull Thistle on June 17, 2010. At that time, it was a much smaller plant
growing low to the ground. But it still had the same dangerously sharp spike.
Since then, I wanted to make sure that I got some pictures of the Bull Thistle in
flower. This plant was at least 6 feet tall and several feet wide with numerous
flowers and huge spikes.
I was able to capture the Bull Thistle at the same time that a Monarch Butterfly
(Danaus plexippus) was munching on the bright purple flower. I didn't have
to use a zoom lens. The butterfly was fine with me putting the camera within
inches of his face.
