[puma-news] Native thistles

These thistles belong here. They are enjoyed by insects and some hardy
critters that can deal with prickles.

Unfortunately, the biological control introduced for musk thistle also
attacks wavy leaf (circium undulatum) thistle. If you break open the
base of a flower, you will find the grubs eating the seeds.

Best,
J
