Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Well I went and did a google search and it let me to aromantic.co.uk. They sell it and the latin name is Carthamus Tinctorius. So is that Scotlands Thistle?? Margaret _______________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Well, in my reference books - and that's 4 I've looked in so far!, Carthamus Tinctorius is Safflower! The only simillarity between the thistle and the safflower is that they are all from the same Family - Compositae - like the daisies and the sunflower etc I've also looked in Aromantic's product list and as you say, it's called Thistle oil. I have to say I think they're wrong. They are actually a Scottish company, not far from me and I think I shall be emailing them about it!!! I'll let you know. - This is the way to learn isn't it! I'm certainly finding out things I didn't know. Regards Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
