Carduus nutans
The first picture is the exact same flower as my other "Musk Thistle" spotting, but it has bloomed a lot more since then. The second picture is on the same plant of a blooming flower. I had two more pictures, one of the full bloom flower on the side, and one of the plant as a whole, but the upload failed.

Thanks Maria!
Very nice series
Cammie: There are 3 different flowers all on this one plant at different stages in their blooming.
Gerardo: Thanks!
Lauren: You're right! It also reminded me of the trees in the Lorax.
That first picture is perfect for Horton Hears a Who!!
Great spot and photos :)
Absolutely beautiful! I've never had the opportunity to catch a shot like that second one.
Thanks! If you look my last musk thistle spotting you can see how much the first one has bloomed since then.
Nice series Jack.., thank you to share..
