A simple web search will come up with several beautiful photos of hummingbirds, bumblebees, butterflies & other pollinators that are attracted to the Texas Thistle. Larvae of the painted-lady butterfly feed on the foliage. Several birds use the fluffy, silky hairs that are attached to the mature seeds to make soft nests for their young.
