Yellow thistle confirmed by Alice as Scolymus hispanicus
« on: December 13, 2013, 07:24:32 AM »
Last night I thought it was Carthamus lanatus
This morning I think it was Scolymus hispanicus  
Does anyone have a more definite idea ?

Between the two, I would say Scolymus hispanicus, Hilary.

Alice,
Many thanks.
If I had just looked at the reference book with photos, rather than drawings, I would have decided much earlier that it was Scolymus hispanicus
