RachelLF Rural Retreat, VA July 05, 2009 10:02 PM Post #6782598 Look's like a type of thistle to me. Rachel Resin Northumberland United Kingdom (Zone 9a) July 06, 2009 05:04 AM Post #6783443 Yep, some sort of thistle; not sure which, though. Resin Stake Barmera Australia July 06, 2009 06:50 AM Post #6783577 G'Day You might like to check out "The Stemless Thistle" Onopordum acaulon. Apparently there are 2 recognised sub species in Europe and the one in Australia appears to be a cross between the two, you might have the same problem in The US unless yours is a native. Brian plutodrive Denver, CO (Zone 5b) July 06, 2009 12:39 PM Post #6784899 Thanks guys, I am labeling it as Onopordum acaulon. This was planted near to a South African area in a botanic garden. I found out that it is a noxious weed in Australia. It's origin is from North Africa, Spain and France. I spotted this near a South African area at a botanic garden. It could be naturalized there as well.
