| In the winter, Chukars feed primarily on seeds, cheatgrass, and thistles, switching to insects and green leaves in the summer. |
| The yampas, glacier lilies, biscuit roots, and thistles are among her favorite flower roots. |
| But just let it rain and the next thing I know I've got thistles out there with stems big as my wrist. |
| For instance, dock and beggarticks often indicate wet soil, while thistles and mullein indicate a dry soil. |
| Two years ago there were lovely flowers growing here and now, there's nothing but thistles and weeds. |
| The flower heads are small and numerous compared to other thistles and the roots are extensive. |
