Thistle or Not?
Is this a thistle or something else? My plant/flower knowledge is terrible.

Skyline....Was this about 4 times bigger than a normal thistle?? I came across these a few days ago with a pink flower and not the usual blue. The usual blue thistles most of us know are Burdock, but i can not identify this thistle. Same family maybe but its a monster compared with the Burdock

I struggled to identify it, all i know is that most thistles are in the same family as Daisies
