"Irritable together: Two thistles in different stages" is a photo I took of two beautiful Echinops (These are also called Kogeldistels in the Netherlands). These two Bull Thistles are both at different stages. The left Bull Thistle is in full bloom and appears soft and cuddly. The one on the right, on the other hand, only blooms at the top and the rest looks like it has points on it. These are the still closed flowers.
The two olive-green/moss-green leaves look like two little hands reaching out to each other.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can see that the focus is on the front of the two bulbs. This allows you to nicely see the difference between the two spheres. Thanks to the great lens I used for this, you get a razor-sharp image where the focus is.
This photo can hang beautifully as wall decoration (on ArtFrame or Aluminium, for example) in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or simply above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
