Field Notes

Description:

One of my favorite local flower. The white flowers are around 4 inches across with paper-like, fragile looking petals. A clump of bright yellow anthers in the middle. Leaves are prickly and rather thistle like. Seed pods look like spiky little footballs.

Habitat:

open field
