(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.
Globe thistle (Echinops species) is so named for its bluish, spiny foliage that very closely resembles the leaves of the weedier and unrelated thistles (Cirsium species). Cutting back spent flower heads on globe thistles encourages them to produce a second flush of smaller blooms.
