safflowers
Oilseed crop thistles
Safflowers are thistle-like plants cultivated for their seeds and flowers.
The seeds yield safflower oil, used in cooking and as a drying oil in paints.
The flowers produce dyes ranging from yellow to red, historically used as a cheaper substitute for saffron in coloring foods and textiles.
