'The meadow thistle cirsium dissectum (or feochadfán móna as gaeilge) is a very long, slender and surprisingly delicate flower for a thistle!
This native Irish plant is much loved by bees and other insects making them extremely important in the ecosystem. Thistles, like the meadow thistle, are the larval foodplants of the Painted Lady Butterfly.
The meadow thistle is, unfortunately endangered – it is on Ireland’s red list for vascular plants.'
Ireland has an international responsibility to preserve these identified locations.'
