    When you find out, let me know! I have many images of this (only one posted on RB)

  • Yes I will let you know. My memory is getting worse as I once new the name of it, but I jsut can not remember it. Hopefully another RB member can help me out

    I just know them as a type of thistle! I love them but they dont grow up here in Mn. Last time I was in Ohio I clipped me a bunch and brought them home! Beautiful clear capture!

  • IT grew in/on a river embankment. I am not sure what it is.

    Boy, do I know what you mean about diminishing memory!!

  • I think it is called a Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). The sap is rich in tanin and was used for medicinal purposes in the day of old. Allegedly it was also used by the clothing industry to tease out the nap of newly woven cloth, but what do I know…lol (I just goggled that …lol)
