Description
Its springtime and this Milk Thistle is out in full bloom in the Andalucian countryside.
The flowerhead is beautifully protected by prickles that occur all over the plant and on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.
