It happens that Wane Smooth formulated :
Hi all.My lawn in covered with weeds.Amongst them are a lot of one type that
the goldfinches come to eat regularly.
At first glance it looks like a young dandelion (there are a lot of those)but
the surface of the leaf and the spine underneath are covered in sharp spines.
Any ideas on what this weed is,thanks.

OK, think I got it.
Anchusa arvensis.
