Default another plant ID request

X-No-Archive
Can anyone help me ID this plant which I photographed last month. The
flower looks like a thistle but the leaves were smooth and not thistle
like.

Burdock I think. Even if I could tell the types of burdock apart, I
wouldn't be able to from that photo.

Now that is one lousy image! If you want identification then try to supply
more than one pixel per petal! However looks like a Burdock - I'll let
someone else suggest Greater or Lesser.

A Burdock, though which one is impossible to say from the photo.
