Question
I have lived in Maine and NH since 1950, and don't recall seeing this before. It is ~2 m tall. Lee, NH. Sorry about the cluttered background...I could take a different camera and get a better picture. If I zoom in on the center of the plant, the leaves look like they are at 90°.
Answer
Dear Ninetrees, you have apparently photographed a species of Cirsium (thistle), but I can't tell you which one without a closer image of the flower heads, leaves, and stems. If you want to upload or email those to me, I'm happy to help further. Best wishes.
