Does wordless wednesday allow a comment?
Seriously, love these teasels, as opposed to the round headed ones which are a pain in the neck!
One of those special sculptural seedheads to keep and not cut down.
Their ephemerality too is special.
Besy Wishes

Robert, your comments are always welcome!
This is such a cool structure---I love the long, sinuous sepals that surround the stiff bracts of the cone shape. You said it: quite the sculptural seedhead, indeed!
