Google tells me it is native in Europe and Northern Asia but widely established just about everywhere else. Many countries including the UK, Australia, Brazil, Canada, NZ and the US treat it as a noxious weed.

Yes!  I'm so happy for our daughter (Forumist Angelwings) whose commissioned designs are featured in Hobbs' new Heritage & Artisan Limited Edition jewellery in Kings Road London - a great achievement for their fledgling business "Foxgloves London" in the present economic climate, so I hope no one minds me blowing their trumpet   ;D  ;D ;D

Lesley,

And you're not alone in calling it Californian Thistle, as that is what I searched and found out the botanical name from.  Quite a lot of entries too!!

Hearty congratulations to all ... let's hope that the rich and famous of the land will peruse and buy.  Maggi would be prepared to model them, I'm sure?   ;)

Congratulations, Angie!!  Wonderful.

Congratulations to you too Robin, or rather to your daughter.

Quite an accomplishment on both counts, although for rather different reasons.  ;D  Then again, Robin's daughter's business is probably her baby as well, so maybe not THAT different.  ;)

You're welcome, Robin.  Usually people curse me for my humour though, so I've obviously got you fooled!!!  ;) :-*

Well done. I clicked on the Hobbs web site and had to smile. The children bought their mum a pure mohair jumper dress very similar to that illustrated (without the pattern) in a Mallorca 'designer' shop for €20.

Angie, I know a gorgeous young girl called Lola, she l ives nearby and is just the sweetest wee thing.... beautiful and full of life and I hope that "your" Lola will be just as FAB.... which, of course, she will be!
Congratulations to you all.

( PS, Lesley Cox's little red car is called Lola, too!  ;D )

Robin, super news for Tanya's business, I wish them every success.
Me... Model the items...? I think they can do better..... but I will be contacting Tanya to see about commissioning a Westie pendant.... Lily thinks that would be a great idea!  ;D 8)
