But in reality this bloom is quite soft to the touch. It's a type of thistle - Echinops rito.

Doggone if I can find the name to this flower. It's not at all like a scotch thistle.

Yes, it's a thistle, though not at all like a scotch thistle - this is quite soft to the touch. The full name is Echinops rito.
