Anyone know what this is? My plant app says aster, daisy, sunflower family but I don't think that's true. IMG_6180.JPGIMG_6181.JPGIMG_6182.JPG

A globe thistle, maybe? Those are in the sunflower family, unlike sow thistles which are with the other chicories like dandelion. The gray color on the back would be right.

Not native to your area, I don’t think. Escapee from someone else’s garden?

Oh yeah, it does look like a globe thistle! Something new to feed. How nice! Thanks Rosemary.
