Milk thistle - Mug
Vintage-style enamelled metal mug with illustration of the milk thistle.
A perfect gift for people who are sweet on the inside and thorny on the outside!
Like the Milk Thistle, some people may appear tough, thorny and reserved on the outside, but hide a sweet and gentle personality beneath the surface.
Like the thorns of the Milk Thistle, these people's reserved or aloof attitude can be a way of protecting themselves from any hurt or disappointment that might be caused by interacting with others. However, underneath this 'skin', there may be deep emotions and feelings, a sensitive personality and a generous heart.
As with the milk thistle, the delicacy of the flower hiding behind the thorns could be comparable to the sweetness hidden beneath the apparent hardness of the thorny people on the outside. In this sense, the analogy could represent the importance of going beyond appearances and trying to understand others with curiosity and open-mindedness, so as to discover their true personality and worth.
IN NATURE
The milk thistle is thorny like many other members of the Asteraceae family, as the thorns are a natural defence against animals that might eat or damage it. The thorns act as a physical barrier against herbivores and insects, helping the plant to protect itself from external attacks and to survive.
In addition, the thorns can also act as a kind of 'hook' to attach themselves to other objects and allow the plant to grow in elevated or hanging positions where it can get more sunlight and resources. The thorns of the Milk Thistle, therefore, can be considered an evolutionary adaptation that has allowed the plant to thrive in harsh and competitive natural environments.
The flower of the Milk Thistle, although appearing delicate and soft, is nonetheless hardy and durable. Plant flowers are generally designed to attract pollinating insects and encourage reproduction, and the Milk Thistle flower is no exception.
The milk thistle flower consists of pink or purple petals and numerous stamens, which produce the pollen necessary for reproduction. However, the petals of the flower are also delicate to attract pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies, which are attracted to the bright colours and sweet scent of the flower.
Moreover, the delicacy of the flower can also be a strategy to prevent plants from being eaten by animals. In contrast to the thorns that protect the rest of the plant, the delicacy of the flower could be a way to hide the nutritional value of the flower from potential predators, keeping it safe and ensuring the plant's reproduction.
