Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Thistle Color 933 - #D8BFD8
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterized by
leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae.
Prickles often occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem
and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation that protects the plant
against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.
Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape of a cup or urn subtends each of
a thistle's flower heads.
