Wild Teasels..Dipsacus Fullonum.

Hi Floribunda :o)) x

Hello my dear friend..Recently come back to Goy 'cos I missed you all so much..Great to hear from you Hywel..Hope you are keeping well..Lovely to see you here..\0/x

Nice to see you again. I've been on and off over the summer.
I'm fine thanks. Hope you are too ... x

I love Teasels,Flori....so lovely just now,aren't they? ..

I have a real photographic eye and teasels are great to capture through a lens Bloomer..The history of the use of these in combing out the nap on cloth is part of our local towns past. We still have Drying mills here where the teasels used to be stored in holes in the outer walls to dry out before they were used on cloth. On Wikipedia it also says that they are known to have healing medicinal qualities. Gold Finches love them as well of course. Nature truly does provide.. \0/x

I suppose they might have been used here too,Flori..with our textile Heritage..but not really sure...I don't recall them,even though I worked in the Mill for a long time..just 'slightly' brfore my time..in case you asked ! Lol.

As if I dared Bloomer!!!! LOL..I've heard about you Yorkshire folk and you can be scary...hahahahahaha..\0/xxx

Brill pic Flori, such wonderful plants to photograph.

They have such great texture don't they Dotty? I am really pleased with the success of this shot..\0/x

Bev I've sent you a photo of the teasels in my garden, oh and cow parsley......they are a bit chilly......

I grew teasels in my woodland garden once and they grew like trees with stems just as thick!Everything else was swamped by them! Needless to say ( although the gold finches love them) I didn't grow them again!

Thank you Pam, your photos were really lovely covered in frost like that! I have never grown these Rose, and saw these in a local field where I walk my dog, but they certainly photograph well..\0/x
