Welcome to Pink Saturday 2010

Cardo es el nombre común de un grupo de plantas con flores que se caracteriza por las hojas con agudas espinas en los márgenes, principalmente en la familia Asteraceae. Espinas que a menudo se producen en toda la planta. Se trata de una adaptación que protege la planta contra los animales herbívoros, y los desalienta de la alimentación de la planta. Tiene hermosas flores rosas
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles often occur all over the plant - on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape of a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads.(synonym: Cardueae).It has beautiful pink flowers.
