Was to a family gathering Friday this flower was part of a center peice. Does anyone know the name of it? Someone said it is a pretty weed? Oh, I know the red one is a ROSE. thanks in advance for any help!

How pretty. I love thistles but thought they were considered weeds.

YES, that is the same only differance I can see is the color of the center. I had newer seen the flower before and thought it was very unusal and bueatiful.

My first thought was something from the thistle or artichoke family. It is very neat looking!

That looks like a thistle that grows wild here ours are purple and a pest. very painful if you are poked by them, but I must say they are pretty

The center may turn brown when the flower gets older. I found it by googling "green flowers" and then looking at images. There are some pretty neat green flowers out there!

It sure does look like a Thistle Lime doesn't it! I have never heard of or seen one before!
