Thistle Blossom

Illustration &  Design Series

While journeying through the Minnesota wilderness, I came across several large blooms of thistle. I was struck by the beautiful yet prickly character of the blossoms. Over time, my memory and documentation of these invasive weeds became of symbol of my own nature.  

Characteristics

of a Thistle Blossom

  • Prickly all over, so you it is never fully tangible.

  • Brightly colored blossom that draws you in like a bee. 

  • Beloved by insects, birds, and spiders for their sturdiness.

  • Beware. Very Fertile. 

  • Grows in large blooms, shouting to your neighbors your poor gardening abilities.
