    Tracy's Thistle
    Some residents have been killing Tracy’s Thistle along neighborhood roads, in the mistaken belief that all thistles are noxious weeds. Tracy’s Thistle (Cirsium tracyi) is a native wildflower and valuable wildlife plant. The flowers are used by hummingbirds, butterflies, and bumblebees and the seed heads are a major food source for goldfinches.
