summer 2016, sow-thistle ( as in a pig) enjoying the sun and heat at the intersection of Yonge and bloor. some of the flowers have set seeds, ensuring another generation of plants in the years to come.
the leaves give a classical effect to the street corner, they have that acanthus leaf quality without being acanthus. against the curb of the walk and concrete moulding at the base of the light post the sow-thistle calls to mind one of the basic elements of euroese temple style architecture.
