Cinda, I tried to find other pictures of the plant, but I couldn't find them . It just came up in my garden and although I liked the flowers, it was too pricky for me and it popped up everywhere in my garden. I think it must be a native here. Do you think it's a Silybum specie or another one? Let me know, and than I will try to find out what is native here.
One of the people in my village told me it was Silybum marianum
