I have been dithering since June about putting a name to this thistle
Am I correct in thinking it is Galactites tomentosa?

It looks formidable, Hilary!
Were you thinking of cultivating or eradicating it?

Neither, just admiring it growing in some wasteland off the road between Sparta and Tripoli, Greece
