Cirsium Vulgare

Such honour is bestowed on her
As she wears her crown so well
So proud she sways among the breeze
On every hill and dell
The emblem of our country
There for all the world to see
She is the bonnie thistle
Growing wild and growing free
(Maguire)

Easy on the eye perhaps, but not so easy on the nether regions if sat upon. Happy Friday!
