One story tells us that the thistle once punctured the foot of stealthy enemy, causing him to cry out and spoil a surprise attack  That's why it's the Scottish flower.  Here's a graceful pair of thistles looking innocent enough at your kilt hem, but still packing all the old wallop. Hand cast pewter, 2 1/2" x 1"
