Remarks:
6/10/2002 I wish I could say more about propagating this plant. Tonight I spent 2 hours getting the seed from 30 thistles and wound up with about a teaspoon. I learned a lot about how the seeds nestle down in the base of the thistle and how unexpectedly large they are, then I divided the seeds into six piles and sent five to my new gardenweb friends.
