They grow wild and the seed is a food source for birds. People also use them in dried flower arrangements.

Beautiful picture with the sunlight behind.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about the blur and the sepia/dark in this photo that really appeals to my eye. For me, it's one awesome shot. genie
ReplyDeleteI know that in early days these plants where used before spinning the wool . (Can't find the english translation for this).
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen those in some flower arrangements!
ReplyDeleteOh a perfect shot!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the birds flock to these! I'd love to see your wife's hedgehog creations.
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting in this photo! These do look a bit like hedgehogs.
ReplyDeleteI saw these on my hike the other day and wanted to get a photo...but was in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photo - silhouetted against the bright sky! These look familiar but I don't think they're the same as the ones we have here.
ReplyDeleteCool shot, Andy. Hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I like how you even got the detail of the webs on them. Beautiful light!
ReplyDeleteA year or two ago someone painted a bunch of these in a field bright primary colors. Whimsical fun, though I didn't realize it was robbing birds of food. Oops. I too would like to see the hedgehogs!
Beautiful light! I love how you got the fine, tiny webs, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I, too, would like to see your wife's hedgehogs!
Didn't people use teasels to help clean wool before it was spun? Or did I just make that up?
ReplyDeleteThese are new to me. They look like they must hurt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot. I'd love to see the hedgehogs. :)
