You may think this flower looks pretty, but once it takes over your property, you no longer have wildflowers. Each Musk Thistle flower head produces 1,200 seeds, so a single thistle could have 120,000 seeds, which easily blows right into to your neighbor's property (making him/her very unhappy.) Vinegar of a strong variety is available through the Lincoln County noxious weed program for FREE. Bring you own gallon jugs to fill. To learn more about how to control the Musk Thistle, print out this PDF available online:
