Teasel weed is one of my favorite plants to photograph.

Thanks for identifying the plant. I have never encountered anyone who knew what it was called!

The photo above was made with a 500 mm f/8 1973 Nikon mirror lens on its maiden voyage( under my ownership.) I was shooting with a Nikon d610 and I thought I had the camera in full frame mode but it was actually in DX mode, hence the strange framing.

From what I have read, it was introduced by Europeans and was originally used to comb wool, hence the name teasel ( tease ).
