Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum'

A very welcome visitor if not very unusual for this time of year 💜❤️

Pretty colour and #texture too I'm sure.

Life cycle of a Cirsium flower ❤️

Mine didn't return this year 😞

Does it seed everywhere?

That’s a pity Carol. @carolgs

I haven’t had a problem with it Joan. I wouldn’t mind a few more so pity it doesn’t @joanboston

Thanks I’ve just planted one in a garden I have made at church so wondered if it would spread far

It gets bigger each year and I’ve read you can divide them I hope it doesn’t become a nuisance @joanboston

It will be fine I’m sure

The cirsium I bought last year seems to be preparing its flowers. I didn’t realise they started like this - at ground level. 🌸
