Description
Summer Thistles 2 by HH Photography of Florida.
Thistles standing tall in the afternoon sunlight. Thistles are a symbol of beautiful Scotland ... something I never knew.
In the language of flowers, the thistle is an ancient Celtic symbol of nobility of character as well as of birth.
The thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland since the reign of Alexander III (1249 - 1286) and was used on silver coins issued by James III in 1470. It is the symbol of the Order of the Thistle, a high chivalric order of Scotland. It is found in many Scottish symbols and as the name of several Scottish football clubs. The thistle, crowned with the Scottish crown, was the symbol of seven of the eight former Scottish Police Services. The thistle is also the emblem of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which originated in Edinburgh, Scotland.~
