Gianluca, thanks for that great post! We call it Burdoch, or more accurately the Greater Burdoch (Arctium lappa). I googled your petasites, and they are similar, but not the same. Your Lynch metaphor was fun while it lasted
You might be inexperienced (I am unable to judge you on that) but you are thoughtful and articulate, so your opinion will always be welcome.
