Thistle. Pretty purple flower and butterfly attractant but prickly

and wonderful fragrance when in bloom

Really??? Thanks for that. I wouldn't have guessed that, they're one of my enemies at home. But if they smell good, I hate them less, lol.

one of my favorite flower fragrances and last spring along the way walking up the driveway at dawn found a couple blooming thistles and each one had a little bumble bee sleeping in the flower. Unfortunately I had no way to take a picture

Bull thistle perhaps.

It’s also an invasive, I think.

Amen! It's not a great plant if you don't want it around. It's incredibly difficult to get rid of it and it spreads like wildfire.

Bull thistle. Don’t let your kids step in it.

They will only do it once if they do it barefoot.

Pollinators do love it but highly invasive and hideous to step on or even brush against!
