    I did quite some research to identify the thristles I had captured and I think this one is a Cirsium arvense, not C. vulgare. Posted 12 years ago

        You're welcome. I've just uploaded mine so you can see the resemblance. What's interesting in your photo is that you can see the pollen grains. Posted 12 years ago
