The word teasel comes from an old use of the plant, which was raising the nap on woollen cloth, also known as teasing, which produces teased wool.

I love teasels. I don't know why, but I do. They're fascinating when they're in flower, too.

More Teasels. I love them, they’re nature’s sculpture installation in a hedgerow and they’re great subjects to draw and paint. Here’s another that I’m calling finished. #art #pastel #landscape #hedgerow #teasels
