* Not native to Alaska, but is now established here.
** The Sow Thistle is also not a native Alaskan wildflower.
A newspaper article said "sow thistle" comes to Alaska as a contaminant in feed grain and seeds
from outside Alaska and establishes itself like Dandelions. It looks like a dandelion, only it is 3 feet tall!
