Wasp like animal. I'd like to know exactly what this is. Any help would be appreciated. These two seem to live in the ground with others here in NE Texas.

The flower is a little under an inch.
Other smaller flowers were often located under the main one.
The numerous small thorns were quite soft.
The whole thing reminds me a bit of a thistle.

I wanted to start my first solo collection in the Old Sabine Bottom Wildlife Management Area (OSBWMA) by re-finding this cool little flower living in the wilds of that area. I met this flower by way of introduction by Ms Sonnia Hill of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (B.R.I.T) at a training session hosted by the East Texas Chapter of Master Naturalists (ETCMN) in a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Facility (TPWD). I know, to many acronyms, but I'm grateful to all those organizations for the training the dispense so freely. It will forever be the first flower listed in my OSBWMA collection.
