1. Mile - A - Minute Weed 
2. Ocreae (surpriseed at myself for knowing that) 
3. Self-pollinating
4. Biological - with Korotyaev 
5. Most likely long distance birds.Power lines can give the plant a "corridor" for spreading.

1. Musk Thistle? (Carduus nutans)
2. Native to Europe & Asia. Introduced to U.S., Canada, S. America, Aussie, & New Zealand.
3. Flower heads bend over?
4. Usually self-pollination, but sometimes use Cross Pollination with insects.
5. Preventive measures, physical control is useful for small populations but must be put in a landfill, chemical control can be used with Garlon, Roundup, Transline, and Foliar spraying, Bio-control the gallfly, Receptacle, and crown weevil reduce seeds dispersed.
