Look like wild teasel

But definitely not wild teasel.
Shot at Garry Point, Richmond, BC.
Can grow to 5 feet or more.

 

Why do you think it is not teasel?

 

Not sure what you mean by wild teasel. My teasel looks just like yours but I couldn't get a good picture because it's about 8 feet tall.

I do know these are considered to be invasive so I'm careful not to let it go to seed.

 

Thanks a lot.
I checked and found that this is really the wild teasel.

 

When you say 'wild teasel' I think you must mean Dipsacus fullonum. At first I thought you knew of a tame teasel.

I am with Margot re: invasive
I know a property on Vanc Island where they are rampant
