#teasles

Teasel Scientific name: Dipsacus fullonum by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The brown, oval, spiky seed heads of the teasel are a familiar sight in all kinds of habitats, from grassland to waste ground. They are visited by goldfinches and other birds, so make good garden plants.

These are #teasles and produce #seed heads that in another time were used to card #wool. I love them. They collect rain water in pools at the bottom of their leaves. (at Nunnington Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lNO44nYy9/?igshid=2b5xw3ng3jpf

Fresh air break at #harrisbeachstatepark today. The teasles were very striking against the beach background! Smoke isn't bad today, moist clean sea air is trying to push in, but I had to make a stop anyway! #harrisbeach #brookingsoregon #beachfront #pacificocean #teasles #pacnw #ablockfromthebeach #breathe

#teasles in the morning sun. (at Blackwater Valley Path)

I did get five minutes out in the wild paddock the self setting teasles are attracting some insects and looks like it's going to be a good year for walnuts, assuming the squirrel family haven't already got them numbered !
