Thistles

Out on the fens, thistles were in abundance today. I'm not sure about the UK, but in Australia they are classified as a weed as they diminish the amount of pasture available to stock. Nonetheless, I rather like them. The purple one is called milk thistle, I believe. I wonder why they are a Scottish emblem?
