Wildflower - Teasel
The blooming of the Common Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) in the neighborhood marks the mid-point of summer as we start to approach the start of Autumn in a month or so. This flowering plant has a unique egg-shaped flower head is located on top of a stiff, tall prickly stem that can reach 8 feet tall. This non-native plant from Eurasia and North Africa attracts bees and butterflies, such as this Black Swallowtail Butterfly, when it blooms.
