Is this it?  If so:

This is just a purple and green cactus.  Nothing strange.  This is all I found fitting your description.  In Michigan?  Alittle strange... but oh well.

Hope this helps. Love,

Wild Tiger :)

Answer 2

are the spiky parts globe shaped?

Answer 3

It's burdock, a very common weed.

Don't let it go to seed!  Once those prickly burrs dry and turn brown, they will drop hundreds of seeds and you'll have a whole yard full of big burdocks.  These plants put down a very long taproot and they are difficult to eradicate once they become established.

Cut it down immediately.  It's a noxious, invasive weed.
