Enjoying a bright flower in the Melancholy Thistle

The Melancholy Thistle has been covered in bees who reel in drunken ecstasy when they land on its soft flowers, plunging themselves recklessly into the purple heads and leaving exhausted minutes later. They grow wild in the northern uplands, a plant of high summer looking anything but melancholy as they tower en masse above the felted strappy leaves. It's only when you see them on dull days which we're not short of her that you realize why they're known as melancholy.
