TEASELS....PEN & INK In my moleskin Journal.

Dipsacus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Dipsacaceae. The members of this genus are known as teasel or teazel or teazle. The genus includes about 15 species of tall herbaceous biennial plants (rarely short-lived perennial plants) growing to 1-2.5 m tall, native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa.

I have loved the sight of these along the roadsides all my life and often it is all I can do to keep myself from stopping the car and getting out and picking some to take home...and sometimes I could not stop myself!!!
