Cobblers Peg Pyramid

Here in Australia Cobblers Pegs (Bidens pilosa) is a weed found in many suburban backyards or vacant land.

The little seed 'pegs' come away with the slightest touch and will attach themselves to clothing, skin, hair, practically anything to hitch a lift to a new place to germinate.

For me, photographing this little cluster involved kneeling down in an overgrown paddock, which in turn meant 30 minutes of picking cobblers pegs out of my skirt. The things we do :)
