In my mess of a yard with the garlic and the amaranth, NA, it has too many features (ignore the chicken she wanted to be involved)

it has a million buds, it has small, sparsely decorated dandelion-like puffs, it's got spiky leaves but also nice flowers
i feel like i havent even seen this guy since this year and it shows cus many of them are not doing so well
there's a much taller one that's also dying growing out of a rocky section of my backyard
