| When i was in texas last summer, i saw two plants that went to seed. I have/had no idea what they are.
one is a thistle that when i found it, the seed head was the size of a tennis ball and so sharp. owwww. I love thistle, for the birds, finches just love the seed. I live in california and planted it last week and it already sprouted. How can i gain knowledge of the types of thistle from texas. I was close to the city of denton. I did get another plant seed as well and should take a picture of the leaves and seeds in the baggie to gain the species there too. I may just plant it and then when it blooms take a pic. thank you!!! also is this the right forum to post a question such as this? nicole in san diego |

| Could the plant possibly be Jimson Weed? |

| Sorry for double-posting, but I have some seeds for this plant if you want any. I will never use them. I just picked some up in the wild, and I didn't know what it was. Email me your address and I can them to you. |

| I just found out that this is one of the most toxic plants in the US. You might want to not mess with it. The birds shouldn't want any, but I wouldn't take any chances. |
