Teasel Seed Heads Against a Sunset
- Winter Plant Gallery
Teasle - Dipsacus
fullonum against the sunset. St.Ives (Cambridgeshire)
church spire can be just made out at the bottom right. Many plants produce
seed heads that if left, can add interest and structure to the garden in
winter, they look particularly good with frost on them. Teasle seed heads
are a good source of food for wild birds, small seed eaters will perch near
the heads and pull the seeds out, spilling some in the process to provide
next years crop of plants.This particular species,
known as "Fullers Teasle" (a Fuller was someone who treats cloth, hence
D. fullonum)
was grown as a crop in the 19th century for the seed heads which have spines
that can be easily seen in the picture. This was used a s away of raising
the nap on woollen cloths.
This picture was taken with flash from the front to give
the particular lighting effects.
