A little imagination may be needed to see the elongated triangles on this teasel plant....I can see
them, so they must be there, right? ;-) Teasel are one of my favourite plants to photograph, right
from the new buds through to the dried winter flower heads. I love the colours and textures that
change so dramatically over the different the seasons. Teasel facts: Common teasel was imported
from its native Europe into North America, possibly as an ornamental or more likely because the
dried flowers were used in wool production. Its current range is limited and includes areas in the
northeastern U.S., the Pacific Coast, and southern Canada. It grows in meadows, roadsides, and
sometimes in cultivated land, usually in moist areas and on coarse soils.
