Silybum marianum Asteraceae. Milk Thistle prefers moist, rich soil with full sun, but will tolerate part shade.  A tap-rooted plant, it does not take to transplanting and does poorly in pots. It is best sown directly in the soil either in the early spring for a late summer harvest or in late summer, allowing the rosettes to overwinter (they’re hardy to -15°C) and then harvesting the ripe seed the following summer.

 An annual or overwintering annual, native to the Mediterranean and now widely naturalized across the planet, Milk Thistle is a striking plant growing from 3 to 7 feet tall with large smooth, glossy green leaves edged with sharp spines and painted with veins of creamy white. According to tradition, these veins originated from the milk of the Virgin Mary falling upon a plant, hence the plant’s alternate names Mary Thistle, or Saint Mary's Thistle. It bears beautiful bee-loving, solitary, bright purple flower heads, which give rise to the brown-black seeds.

Gloves are recommended when harvesting! First, cut off the partially dried seedheads prior to their fully opening, collect them in a bin, and dry them further in the sun for several days. Then thresh the seedheads until they are fully broken apart, screen and winnow them until you’re left with just the seed.  You can also reach over the tops of the plants and carefully pluck the seeds very cleanly when they are ready, paying attention to doing this before the wind takes them.

Milk Thistle seeds have long been known for their powerful regenerative effect on the liver. They are used internally in the treatment of liver and gall bladder diseases, jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatitis, cancer, and mushroom poisoning from various mushrooms, including Death Cap. The seeds are also known to have antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties; and when roasted, can be used as a coffee substitute.

Virtually indestructible
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Red
Long lasting ball for a large dog. Bought the first one a few years ago. Its been outside all this time, still full of air and was virtually impossible for my large dog to destroy it. The weather affected the surface so ordered a new one. This has outlasted all the other balls.

Great toy for larger dogs
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
This is holding up pretty well with my Great Pyrenees pup. She was able to pull all of the tags off-but the ball is intact for several weeks!

So much fun
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
Best money ever spent hours of fun. We have 3 dogs. They all love to play with this toy. We got the size 3 large is what we ordered. I'm not going to lie I thought it would be bigger when I ordered it. Two of our dogs are large breeds and the other is medium. It's not too big for the medium to play with it. It comes with a ball pump included so convenient. The little tabs are very durable. I can't recommend this enough. This has no squeaking or any sounds. It's nice that you can play with your four legged companion or you can have them play tug or just enjoy pushing the ball around. It is very versatile in play and stimulation.

Not for chewers
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow
My dog managed to pop this and completely chew through it in a matter of 4 days. It was definitely cute and she loved the size of it but with her chewing all the way to the core we have to get rid of it. I thought it was a good material but I guess I was wrong. Kind of sad considering the money spent only lasted 4 days
