[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Teasel (dipsacus sylvestris).
Well into this century, teasels were cultivated in Europe for their spiny flowerheads. The dried heads were mounted on rods and used by manufacturers of woollen goods to tease, or raise, the nap of cloth. This ancient method was used because, when meeting a firm obstruction, the spines would break rather than tear the material. They migrated to this continent some time ago, probably in imported hay.
Here is one in bloom with it's pretty pink flowers. Cloudy afternoon.
