Thistle

 
I took this picture of a thistle this morning at the Ponds. The most common thistle hereabouts. Must be really easy to identify. Right? Wrong! I am stymied. The closest I could come was Milk Thistle. Just one problem, it grows in the Mediterranean, in North Africa, and the Middle East. Not in the United States! I'm sure some of you will E-mail me with comments like "how could you not recognize the Xxxxxx Thistle"? So be it.
 
Of course the reason I took the picture was because the thistle is a real work of art. Never mind what it's called.
