Scotch (or Scottish) thistle (Onopordum acanthium) is also known as cotton thistle. The photograph shows how it looks in its second year, which is when it grows to measure about 7 feet (over 2 metres) in height. Scotch thistle is biennial. At first a spiny rosette shows itself while a deep tap root is developing under the soil. In the second year, the large central stem grows and classic and impressive purple thistle flowers grow from June to July. It has been suggested that gardeners might plant this thistle deliberately just for this impressive display, together with its overall attractive pale grey-green colour. The ground in which this thistle flourishes was cleared of brambles just a year ago, with a view to turning the land into allotments for local gardeners. In the meantime, living seeds have developed, and now the area grows foxgloves, opium poppies, scarlet pimpernel, red dead-nettle, Rumex, purple vetch, stinging nettles and groundsel, to name but a few, in addition to the Scotch thistle.

Cynara scolymus, commonly called globe artichoke, is an upright columnar perennial vegetable which features lobed, jagged, deeply-serrate, green leaves and thistle-like flowers. The edible portions of the plant consist of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom.

The Elk Thistle (Cirsium eatonii) is a thistle native to Jackson Hole in Wyoming. As its name implies, elk feed on this plant. It is also called Everts Thistle after Truman Everts, a member of the 1870 Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition, who explored the area that later became Yellowstone National Park. Everts became lost and survived for a month by eating the elk thistle. This elk thistle in bloom was photographed at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming, USA.
