Great subject & color. But the name of the plant is thistle....probably Canada thistle...fyi...not burdock. BA #3183459

Thanks for the comment Betty. I should have researched it better before I posted it. It's actually Pasture Thistle and its botanical name is Cirsium pumilum Spreng. Here is a link to info on it at the USDA:
