Bluebonnets may be the state flower, but the ubiquitous Texas thistle (Cirsium texanum, family Asteraceae) is a native very prevalent in the wildflower landscape.

I bought a thistle feeder because I’m hearing chickadees but not seeing them since winter. No bird has come for the month I’ve had it up???
Great photos this Spring Albert!
Looks like that thistle you have a picture of is actually the invasive look-alike, Musk/Nodding thistle.
