3D Thistle

The thistle is one of the most resilient native plants in North America. Each summer, it blooms in prairies and roadsides, relying on open sunlight to thrive. As bees and butterflies gather nectar from its bright purple flowers, they help pollinate the landscape around them. Thistles remind us that even the prickliest plants can provide essential support for wildlife.
