Teasel or Teazel??


A teazel (or teasel) is a wild plant that is common here in the UK.
It is easily identified by its prickly stem and leaves; these are covered in pinkish purple or white flowers in mid- to late summer
The seeds are important winter food for birds, and its growth is encouraged in some nature reserves. However, in the US it’s considered to be an invasive species since it’s not native, and can crowd out other native plants.
Also, bizarrely, it is a partial carnivore - dead insects that get stuck in the plant have been proven to improve its seed output.
Teazels were traditionally used to 'comb' the surface of damp woollen cloth by hand to make it soft and fluffy. This is called 'raising the nap'.
The Latin word for teasel is Dispacus fullonum, or the fullers’ thistle. Fulling is part of the process of finishing the cloth.
These were beside a Path in Bridge, Kent And its a case of find the fence!!
HFF everybody!
