It’s a giant thistle!
No, really, it is. It’s not just a regular thistle appearing big because it’s close to the camera. This sucker was at least six inches across.
I really like this photo, with its framing and colors. It’d be in my best category if the focus was just a bit better. But it’s a strong photo all around.
And the spikes on the leaves stand out so nice and spike-y!
…That was a bit circular there, Sharayah, yes, spikes are always spike-y, it’s what they do…
