Edit your initial post and reattach the photo. It should work. There is a limit of the size of photo so keep an eye on that (I think it is 512kb)

Looks like a Compositae flower. Maybe Silybum marianum ?

Maybe a Centaurea species such as Centaurea melitensis?

Admin, of course- this is a Malta-Wildplants-Forum! Fiddien-Qlejgha Valley (Chadwick Lakes). Cen. nic. is pretty common.

OK, good to stick to the rule of "Mustbe Malta Flora"
Regards the flower, should it have some central florets or seeds at the centre instead of a black dark shadow ?
