The name for this lovely plant speaks volumes about its nature. This thistle is indeed blessed. It grows in the wild in every state, I believe. Most people treat this as an invasive weed but historically, it was a well used food source. Every organic garden should have some blessed thistle both for the food and medicinal value of the plant. The flowers are a beautiful rose or purple. The pods are like a delicate artichoke. The leaves make a great medicinal tea that is cleansing to the liver.
