It's a thistle. There are several varieties of thistle in the area.
Here's the same one sans bee and with quite different perspective, 200mm
vs. 28mm AOV.

Close in is clearer, with nicer luminance range/distribution than with
the G11.

I haven't decided if I like the FF or this almost square crop.

There is yet another common one, tall, with multiple small flowers per
stalk. I don't seem to have a clear shot of them, although they are OOF
