Interesting that aphids like the milk thistle.. Think if you could lose some of that space on the right to give a similar gap from subject to edge as the left, it would balance better.
Milk Thistle? I thought they were purple. I think this is just a common old dandelion. Although on the one branched stem, the two elements are ok. You might find this interesting. A time lapse of the dandelion going to seed. View HERE.

I don't like my attitude and I caught myself drinking on the job.

Can be a bit confusing particularly if you just Google 'milk thistle'. It will invariably throw up the purple variety.
Milk thistle is used to describe quite a few species but one of the the most common in gardens, lawns and pasture in temperate Australia is one which produces a milky fluid from a broken stem and is prevalent in Tasmania and is known by quite a few common names.
A picture of the flower and seed ball may well look very similar to a Dandelion however they are quite a bit smaller but the plant can grow much higher. One of the defining differences which caused me to call Eglem's specimen Milk Thistle is the double seed heads on a single stalk. It's impossible to gauge size from the shot but Dandelions tend to have a single flower on a single stalk.
Here's a bit more info on the plant I thought it was:
All good info Greg. Thanks. Milk Thistle it is, I ddn't think we had much of it here in WA. The dandelions are on single stems and the flowers are nearly identical. Cheers.
