Not sure if this guy is a weed, perennial, annual or what. It was found growing on the side of the road in southern Ohio today.

Anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

Seeds heads of some species of sow thistle. Weed/wildflower (more weed than wildflower!)

A variety of thistle with much more unobtrusive seed heads is my most pervasive and annoying weed.

aaargh, making me wince, just looking at it. Sow thistle season is fully established on my allotment - weeks and weeks of grovelling about with a daisy grubber await me.
