Photographed this native Hooker's Thistle out in Kananaskis, near the parking lot, when we went on the Picklejar Lakes hike on August 6th. Also known as White Thistle, it grows in meadows and open woods, July-September. The species name comes from Sir William J. Hooker (1785-1865), director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, in England.
