Cirsium drummondii These #thistles have gone from mowed over mystery when I first moved back in '07 to presumed cool weed when I let one flower, to realising they're an uncommon native species! (I know no other sites). There's now a decent wandering patch (each plant dies after flowering 3rd year or so) and boy do the #pollinators love them!
