Bee Find. Dipsacus pilosus Small Teasel and Honey Bee, Apis mellifera, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Bee was lucky! She found this Small Teasel in the Hortus. It's a plant quite rare 'in the wild', so we're lucky to have it protected here. It is, of course, closely related to the Common Teasel, Dipsacus fullonum, and certainly stands as high. But it has no water-collectors on the lower stem just above the root.
