Might be E. vulgare actually.

There’s plenty of E. vulgare in that area too but I meant to take photos of the Paterson’s curse. I was surrounded by Patterson’s, saffron thistle, viper’s bugloss and other weeds. Hardly a native in sight in that area 😥

Just leave it and I’ll take photos that focus on Paterson’s next time I’m there

The plants you have photographed are PC, not vipers. It is fairly clear once you blow it up.
