THISTLES - MANOR HEATH PARK

As mentioned in an earlier post, I went for a stroll around Manor Heath Park in Halifax (England) today and took a few photographs to share with you.  I have never grown thistles but I do think they are rather spectacular and sometimes quite architectural in a garden.  



These were about 7 or 8ft tall

Another kind of thistle - no idea what.
