Suggestions for dealing with the thorns on Bells of Ireland

| I grew Bells of Ireland last year with great success except for the thorns. I found that using it in arrangements was hindered by these piercers. Does anyone have any suggestions because I have about a 1000 seedlings coming up in the garden and I love the plant. Thanks in advance. |

| With a cotton-gloved hand, just reach up close to the flower bells and slide your hand downward, The thorns fold out of the way and strip right off in one pass. |
