A Rebellious Beauty

Considered an invasive weed by many, the musk thistle is showing off it’s rebellious beauty through the stages of life in its blooms. Thistles and many other wildflowers are plentiful along the forest trails and wetlands of NW Indiana at this time of the year.

    Stunning. Even if it’s considered an invasive weed, at least it’s pretty.
