Two people came very close. This plant (weed) is the Milk Thistle. The one I photographed was at least eight feet high, an in and a half in diameter, with six or so large branches.

Background: Milk thistle has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years, most commonly for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. A flavonoid complex called silymarin can be extracted from the seeds of milk thistle and is believed to be the biologically active component. The terms "milk thistle" and "silymarin" are often used interchangeably.
