    Could it be a wild lettuce?

    Dug up and photgraphed a smaller plant from the main mother plant which is twice the size.
    I hope the pics are clear enough for an identification. I have included a flower bud (not sure what it would look like when open or if this is the flower itself)
    This plant was found in Guelph Ontario Canada.
    Never saw a plant like it and it has me stumped.

    Thanks
    Ian

    Acanthus (bear's breeches), probably A. hungaricus.
