    Can someone identify this species of giant thistle? I'm not getting much info online, as most people just seem to post the pictures for art, but do not give the genus.

    Thanks much if you can help.

    I have posted the pic via attachment.

    thank you everyone for your posts :)

    It's not a common plant in Canada, so was stumped.

    Thanks again.
