Wollkopf-Kratzdistel (Cirsium eriophorum), the Woolly Thistle
On our hiking tour in the Austrian Alps near Styria's capital Graz,
two hours by car from Vienna,
we found many of these beautiful Alpine flowers
on the Alpine meadows of mountain Hochlantsch.

Love your shots Maria! I didn't see what it was on the first shot, I thought you had an unknown species to show us! :)
And the blue is gorgeous, with a lovely blue color!
And thank you for your kind words at my blog last Sunday!
Thistle blooms are indeed pretty but not worth the hassle and barbs the plants create.
I am overwhelmed by all this beauty
Beautiful and exotic looking flowers! Thanks for sharing.
Spectacular photos! You must have had a wonderful hike!
I don't believe I've ever seen a woolly thistle before. Looks exotic to my eyes. I love gentians because of their gorgeous shade of blue.
Hi Maria, those flowers are gorgeous and what a wonderful walk it must have been. The scenery is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing them.
Maria i can only oooh and ahh over your superb shots! That first thistlehead and the last shot ot the Emzian are fabulous, just amazing captures.
Soetwas habe ich noch nie gesehen!! :) Herrlich. Ganz liebe Grüße Kessi
