Feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it. Please continue to post your entries on my daily post. Here is a link to my FOTD page. Thanks.
The name teasel derives from words such as Old English tǣsl, tǣsel; relating to the verb “to tease” – the dried heads of the plant were once used in the textile industry to raise the nap on woolen cloth. The seeds are an important winter food resource for some birds, notably the European goldfinch. Teasels are often grown in gardens and encouraged on some nature reserves to attract them.
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

I guess the spines protect the flowers and seeds from marauding cattle and sheep. Save them for the goldfinches.
