Unidentified weed

[dodger]

Hi, can anyone identify thistriffid that has appeared on my plot?

[Martin H]

It looks like a Teasel.

Teasel.

But the forum won't let me make a one-word post.

Looks rather thistle -ish to me. Can't really see the leaves from your photo. Do you have any from a different angle?
IGNORE! Others got there before me and they're right!

Unfortunately not, will get some more pictures on my next visit to plot

There's a bramble there too, but I guess you mean the spikey things.

Don't worry about more photos, its a teasel
Its a fascinating plant, worth keeping as birds love it

We've got a few teasels in our garden I relocate those that grow in the veg beds but the rest are left for the birds, Gold finches love them.

When our daughter was Brownie age I brought home teasels to make hedgehogs (three glued on beads for a face and lavender bag bodies like these). Some seeds escaped into the garden and 20 years later we still have teasels.

Mr Bones I think we've still got one of those hedgehogs living in a dolls house.
