Sonchus arvensis or perennial sowthistle is an invasive wildflower here in Minnesota that originally came from Eurasia.
It spreads quickly because of a deep root system and can displace native plants. For this reason it is considered as a primary noxious weed here in Minnesota. I photographed this plant at Purgatory Creek.

aha! thanks for posting this! I've been calling them my "not dandelions," but now that I know what they are, I feel better able to take on their challenges!
