    Looks like a thistle but could be from the Allium family?

    It is a bit like a teasel but I'm not convinced. It is a very good picture you have taken and I think the flower is lovely - I would keep it in my garden.

    I have common teasels but they do take over if uncontrolled. They hide together with the evening primroses. How do a 5' tall plants do that?:o
