Cobwebby Thistle, North Coast, SLO COunty

My recollection is that these are a local subspecies in this area. I'll look it up and get back to you. This one looks like an exotic sea-creature -- and I love the wine-colored flower just opening. The whole "puff-ball_ is maybe 1.5 in (4 cm) in diameter. Lots of these out on our morning walk in the Spring WINDS. I trusted the forecaster and was underdressed!
