it describes the nut being below the seed head in a bulb. which is pretty much how I remember

but I need a picture.

Luci, I think you mean milk thistle. Just had a quick sweep round google and it appears that you can eat milk thistle nuts. It's a new one on me, but apparently the seeds (nuts) form in the flowerhead when it has blown. Interesting, eh?
