Even so I couldn't help myself, I had to stop and take a photo of it today. Its called Patterson's Curse around here, a friend calls it Scottish Thistle, I dont know its true name, but it is very pretty, even though it's a curse.

I don't think we've got it in Queensland but when I lived in WA it was a real problem there - so pretty and so lethal!
