Pretty Purple Thistle

Isn’t it amazing when you look at something from a distance and it is so pretty and very appealing to the eyes.

Then upon closer observation, you see all the prickly little thorns all over what you thought was pretty.

Soon, all those pretty, little purple flowers aren’t looking so pretty after all.  Different, but definitely not too pretty.

And now, those little pretties are scattering seed all over the place, causing havoc everywhere, making more of the pretties you liked in the beginning.

Pretty, pokey, and noxious! I've heard there is a little thistle problem in the place across the highway from you. Hopefully someone will get on that :)
