Nature’s art...Teasel sculpture
A macro capture of Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum Sativus Group; syn. D. sativus) with its beautiful sculptural form and seed head in autumn. I really like their form and have a little fascination for them.
Teasel was used in wool “fleecing” (raising the nap on woolen cloth) and was used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics. A valued horticulture plant which led to its introduction in North America as early as the 1700s.
