Description

Another picture from Barlow Common, these are dried Teasels, they were and still are used to raise the nap on cloth or wool, they have been largely replaced by metal ones now in industrial use but are still fastened to teasel racks in small enterprises as the teasel hooks break rather than tear the fabric as the metal ones would do. There seemed to be so many growing here in the wild. Thanks for taking a look, Rob

We have thistle.....close to what I see here. They are a horror and can take over and ruin good pasture land in record time. Having said that, I think they are beautiful in bloom, and the little birds love the seeds. I think one great thing about your images is the history you provide with your shots. I never would have realized these pricky burrs would be used in this modern age! Keep them coming. Oh....beautiful capture!
