For the second one (of this post), malvae, without doubt. The first leaves me less certain. It is hardly classic onopordi, but nor is it classic malvae. To be honest, I can't even rule out armoricanus, though it's late here and I often see things better in the morning! :D

What a pity there's no upperside...
