Teasels are known for their brown, prickly stems and conical seed heads which remain long after the plants themselves have died back for the winter. Between July and August, when they're in flower, the spikey flower heads are mostly green with rings of purple flowers. Found in damp grassland and field edges, or on disturbed ground, such as roadside verges and waste ground, Teasels are loved by bees when in flower, and birds when seeding.
Mainly found in England, but they do grow elsewhere in the UK. This one was at least 5' tall !
I found these at the side of a country road and I can assure you they were very, very prickly indeed, all the way up the stem ! I liked this one particularly for the shining spiders web it was wearing :o) Somewhere in there, there's a spider waiting .... !!!

Thanks as always for any faves, comments or invites - I so appreciate your friendship and support.
Wild Teasel seedheads (Dipsacus fullonum) look spectacular even when all flower petals fall. Interestingly, the plant name ‘teasel’ derives from an old English verb "to tease" as its robust dried heads were used in the textile industry to raise the nap on woollen cloth in the past.

Teasels are easily identified with their prickly stem and leaves, and the inflorescence of purple, dark pink or lavender flowers that form a head on the end of the stem
The seeds are an important winter food resource for some birds, notably the European Goldfinch. Teasels are often grown in gardens and encouraged on some nature reserves to attract them

Teasel, Teazel or Teazle flower (Dipsacus fullonum) with the sun in it's hair, Wildflower garden.North Oxfordshire
Having been pestered by friends and family, I have produced greetings cards of this image, which can be viewed by accessing the following link.
Nothing like a spot of homegrown cooking for our Goldfinch guests @Bo's Bar. They love the seed and, hopefully, I might, just might, grab a half descent piccy of these colourful birds. It is our first year growing the plant so we'll see how we get on. Watch this spot ... :-))
This little beauty was feeding on wild teazles at the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve during my day there yesterday.It was part of a charm that appeared at the right moment as I walked from the main reserve, through the long and boring stretch to Castle Water. The mid afternoon winter sun caught it perfectly for me.

A lot of history here - some of it mine !
Plus you can still buy real, 'stone-ground' flour.
I was really after a nice black and white shot with just one head in it, but the teasels didn't like being photographed separately, and the one with the whole family turned out best in the end.
A single dried teasel head to meet the theme "Spiky". This was another chance to try setting up an indoor shot and finding a way to light it!
Reminiscing and this is an earlier shot from my archives and taken in 2006 using a Nikon d70s. I was told it would have won a club competition if the man was looking to the right instead of the left......It got highly commended instead.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
