Notes
Upright annual forb to 1m tall. Begins as a rosette of felty leaves 2-3 cm across with wavy margins and grows into a robust, stemmy, well-branched and thistle like plant. Prickly, yellow flowers grow 2-3 cm across. Each flower has a globular, spiky base topped with a tuft of short yellow 'petals'. It is a cool season grower, germinating in autumn, growing through winter and flowering in spring and early summer.
