Teasel tresses - a photo on Flickriver

Teasel tresses

            I noticed these wonderful curls around the teasel seedhead after I took the image.  What a lovely addition.

The teasel plant, or Dipsacus sativus, bears resemblance to the thistle with its spiked crown at the end of a long stalk. The spikes protect the seeds, and the dried seed heads have been used in Europe since medieval times to brush woollen fabrics to create a raised finish . The teasels can be used individually by hand, but methods of clamping several teasels together in a brush-like frame quickly developed from the Middle Ages onward and speeded up the rate of production.
