I took these in my neighborhood last year. I'm not sure exactly what these are called but they are SHARP. Ask me how I know. 😁

Hi Joe
Nice image with ladybug, nice job handholding too. Always liked the color combo on this thistle plant, magenta and green seem to work nicely together. Not a flower you'd pick without paying the price

I love the first one Joe. Revisiting those spikes when you get home to pull them out of your socks is the second half of the fun!

Either a Bull or Bristle Thistle would be my guess.
