(Cirsium vulgare) Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare (savi) tenore) is a biennial forb that was introduced to North America as a seed contaminant and is now widespread. Gumdrop-shaped flowers are pinkish to dark purple in color and 1 Â½ to 2 inches in diameter. The flower bracts are somewhat tapered and covered with spines.
The common thistle is known to botanists as onopordum acanthium and to everyone else as the Scotch thistle or Scottish thistle. A relative of the sunflower family, the Scottish thistle achieved fame and standing as the national emblem of Scotland.
