Looks like Bull Thistle.
Your photos are always focusing on the background rather than on the plant you are interested in!
Thanks! I guess in the meantime, we'll stick with what's safe for now.
Good ID! There were a couple of them in one small area. Definitely stood out. Made me gasp.
Dude...definitely close...
Growing under standard mid-atlantic tree cover. I took it too long ago to know for sure!
Dude, I came across Lamium album, and was shocked! I'd never heard of it before, but I hesitate to call this Lamium album. It was growing right in the midst of a solid acre of Lamium purpureum, and was completely identical to the purpureum around it in ever feature except for the flower color. I don't know how much variation this genus gets, but I might have to stick with purpureum for now because of how similar it was to the surrounding deadnettle with flower color being the only exception. But white flower sure are odd for purpureum...
