Woolly thistle

  • ... that flower buds of the woolly thistle can be eaten in a similar way to artichokes? Source: "Flower buds - cooked. A globe artichoke substitute but much smaller and even more fiddly."

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 18:23, 20 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Greater than 5x expanded and long enough, enough references, hook in article and followed by a citation to a reference containing the hook fact. Verified in other sources I found too. Image quality and licence okay. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:42, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cirsium eriophorum

Cirsium eriophorum, the woolly thistle, is a tall biennial plant native to Central and Western Europe. The large, globose flowers can be up to 7 cm (2.8 in) in diameter. Each flower contains many tubular florets, with long purple tubes and purple stamens, each with a spiny bract covered with white woolly hairs through which a spine projects. This woolly thistle was photographed in Kozara National Park, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
