Could it be a thistle lime?

How pretty. I love thistles but thought they were considered weeds.

My first thought was something from the thistle or artichoke family. It is very neat looking!

That looks like a thistle that grows wild here ours are purple and a pest. very painful if you are poked by them, but I must say they are pretty

The center may turn brown when the flower gets older. I found it by googling "green flowers" and then looking at images. There are some pretty neat green flowers out there!
