Plant ID if you can please

My folks just returned from an exciting trip out west and they saw this plant growing at Douglas Creek in Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming.

Thanks in advance for your help

Mungo said...: Could it be prickly lettuce?; 8:53 PM
Jinglebob said...: We have it also. Not sure what it is for sure. Looks a lot like dandylion, but might be milkweed. Guess I ain't much help.; 9:42 PM
Anonymous said...: Glad to hear it sounds like they had a wonderful time! No idea about the plant. I have something dropping tiny blue berries (not blueberries), any idea?; 10:24 PM
threecollie said...: Mungo, it could be, I will check it out. thanks

JB, thanks for taking a stab at it. I certainly have no idea

Teri, unless they are wild grapes I have no idea. Sorry about that. The birds drag them all over the place here and make an incredible mess with them...then all the seeds sprout into nasty little grape vines. Same with choke cherries only they leave behind a purple mess.....arrggghhh; 5:40 AM
Dani said...: It looks like the Thistle plants that we have here in Florida. Maybe a relative of that.; 7:36 AM
Freste said...: Looks like a big ol' fat thistle if I were to compare it to the things that have whacked my calves this summer. Does that awful thing have long spikes with what looks like a porcupine at the end?; 11:35 PM
threecollie said...: Dani, could be...thanks

Steve, spiky indeed, dad is going to contact the ranger at the park and see if he can tell him what it is called.; 7:57 AM
