There is interesting ethnobotanical information here. Sometimes, when you can catch your breathe after a Canadian Thistle battle, it is useful to consider why a certain plant colony becomes such a pest in certain locations. Good science begins with accurate observation. If I was a grad student, I would study how the dratted thistle does what it does....there's a really efficient energy storage system in those damn roots.
