c. horridulum is kind of like a big dandelion, just not yellow and it has prickles all over it, what it does do, like the dandelion, is turn into a giant fuzz ball of seeds with feathers. i've seen examples of c. horridulum almost as tall as i am (5'11 & 3/4"). if you're out in the woods and you keep an eye out, you'll see these massive cabbage-with-thorns growing here and there, those will eventually sprout the above decoration and eventually turn into giant fuzz balls themselves.
so get out in the woods and start hunting for thorny cabbages
I saw yellowish or off-white thistles yesterday, but had no camera with which to take a picture. The pink ones are all over, but I rarely see the off-white ones....Good picture
