TOPIC | Troubles With Thistle

Despite the hatred it seems to get, I'm quite fond of it. The combination of grey and purple befuddles and entrances me. Isis is one of my favorite dragons... I couldn't be more pleased with her thistle wings. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1429612] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/14297/1429612_350.png[/img] [/url]

Thistle has a bizarre fondness for cropping up among my hatchlings, to the point where I just embraced its frequency. (It helps that I really like the color itself.)

...then I decided to breed myself a triple thistle dragon, since my hatching grounds are so fond of the color (yes, I know I could buy one, but where's the fun in that?). Five eggs from a thistle/lavender/thistle and mulberry/thistle/thistle pair later...three mulberry, four lavender, and no triples. I ???

A friend of mine recently hatched a thistle (maybe iri?) primary with platinum seraph and the colors looked made to go together. I was so tempted to buy him but alas he sold before I could talk myself into buying yet another dragon I didn't really need but wanted a lot. Also shadow, I've found, for Colors That Look Good With Thistle In Most Genes And Breeds.

I only have a couple dragons with thistle secondary in my lair, and they're so pretty.

Curse you Thistle! So I bred a pair of dragons that were purple primary/yellow secondary. Mom had Mulberry, Dad had Royal, so I figured I'd have a good range of purples to work with. The first clutch? Two babies had Thistle/Lemon orz [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=4597082] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/45971/4597082_350.png[/img] [/url] THAT IS NOT THE COMPLIMENTARY COLORED BABIES I BRED FOR!

Thistle looks amazing with Swamp as my little Spee proves; [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=3091233] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/30913/3091233_350.png[/img] [/url] I'm sorry I can't hear the Thistle-hate over the sound of her gorgeousness XD @Airedale oh my GOD WHAT A PRETTY!!! That combo is amazing, wowsers.

@raptorix Oh gosh that's a hideous color combo I will never be able to un-see XD

@Airedale Beautiful way the smoke gene matches it (of course).

@Moniquill Oh they're all so pretty. Once you get a tri or double thistle you can SEE how the color is clearly purple, but if you mix it in with the grayscale colors you completely forget about it.
