Three weeks ago we started noticing a plant blooming in the wetlands away from the driveway. I used my binoculars to look at it to see what it was. We first thought it was a butterfly bush, but realized the leaves and blossoms were wrong for that. Finally my husband waded into the tall grass and briars to spray bittersweet, briars and mile a minute and picked a stalk of the plant.
Does anyone know what it is? Is it an aster?

in sweden we call it tistel. you can google it.
I don't think it is because the leaves are not the same, It's growing like a bush. The stalks are woody not anything like a thistle.
I think it is in the aster family, some type of knapweed (an invasive species). Maybe
Spotted Knapweed?
