7-31 Canada Thistle, White Turtlehead

 7-31

Newcomb's Wildflowers refers to Canada thistle as, "a bad weed of pastures and waste places." Apparently it spreads by creeping underground stems and is very difficult to eradicate.


White Turtlehead favors swamps and stream banks. The lower lip of these flowers is thought by some to resemble the head of a turtle.
