Ileana Calotescu
It is a robust, biennial plant that grows to 1.8 m in height and is usually seen on the roadsides or on rough terrain. The heads of plants and seeds persist all winter. The purple, dark pink or lavender flowers that form a head on the end of the stem, are excellent sources of pollen and nectar for bees and other insects.

I think this is Teasel.
Google says it is Teazle and is reported under macro photography
Google is very knowledgeable!?
It’s very interesting plant but not sure I have seen it before
Maybe it doesn’t grow in your area!
In the USA it’s called Teasel. In the early days of America, it was used to help prepare cotton for spinning into yarn.
I read about its use for this purpose. Our ancestors knew how to handle it without having advanced technologies!
I’m not anti-technology but sometimes I wish we had less of it. I think we’d appreciate nature more that way.
if it isn’t a Scottish Thistle, then no clue…
It is not Scottish Thistle!
then no clue what it might be
I am not really good in names of flowers.
Sorry I do not know, unless is it a thistle.
It is not a thistle.
