Teasels

Lovely addition to your cottage garden, Janey.

Lovely. We saw some growing at the edge of one of the fields yesterday on our walk. Just a thought.... when dried you could spray them and use them for indoor flower arrangement.

Thanks Kate, I'm hoping for clouds of Goldfinchrs in the autumn..:)

Yes that's a great idea Linda, especially for Christmas.

I used to have these when we were in Willow Cottage Janey. You should definitely get the gold finches.

I've heard one this morning Rose with it's tinkling song..:))

It's lovely to watch them, isn't it Janey!

I'm looking forward to seeing them on a warm summers day Rose. Today, grey and cool. Is it the same at yours?

Such a lovely capture.

Teasels are lovely plants, I see them growing around here from time to time as wild flowers on abandoned sites. Bees like them very much as I suppose do butterflies though I've never seen a butterfly on them.

you're going to think I'm batty, but, I planted teasel and forgot about it... weeded it all out the next spring! face palm!

Thank you Wildrose..:)

They really are Balc and when.It rains, it collects in the little bowls down the stems, perfect for birds and insects. Yes they are a favourite of the bees.

Oh no Lori! And so prickly too, I can just imagine with your gardening gloves on, giving them a good yank!
