Cirsium horridulum (Purple thistle)
Amazing how different this species looks here vs. south Florida. I am used to what has been described as var. vittata, and it usually has pink flowers (or white), and never deep red. See below.
Edge of Toms Creek Rd., just west of Congress Rd., Richland County, South Carolina
