| Teasel? |
|
| That was my thought as well when I saw the picture this morning but I didn't feel confident enough to suggest it. |
|
| I'm not convinced about teasel. The stem is not prickly and I don't see the prickly pimples on the leaves. I'm thinking Lactuca maybe L virosa? |

| I'm positive it is not Dipsacus fullonum. Those leaves are opposite and sessile. They form a cup and hold quite a bit of water around the stem. I think the other teasels have a similar nature and would be counted out too. FataMorgana |

| If it helps any, this plant and the other one I posted were growing at the edge of woods and she said they are about 8 ft. tall. And I believe she lives in Virginia. |
|
| It may turn out to be Lactuca floridana. Let it grow and flower. |
