Description
An ordinary prickly teasel in the field. What this ordinary image strikes me is how at the right time they appear to me like two couples dancing romantically in the light before sunset. There is also an insect landing on one of the leaf. The image looks very refreshing and lovely in the country field from Halton Hills, Ontario.
From Illinois Natural History Survey
Although usually called a biennial, teasel is better described as a monocarpic perennial. The plant grows as a basal rosette for a minimum of one year (this rosette period frequently is longer) then sends up a tall flowering stalk and dies after flowering. The period of time in the rosette stage apparently varies depending on the amount of time needed to acquire enough resources for flowering to occur.
During the rosette stage leaves vary from somewhat ovoid in young plants to large and oblong leaves that are quite hairy in older rosettes. During the rosette phase teasel develops a large tap root. The tap root may be over 2 feet (0.6 meter) in length and 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter at the crown.
Teasel grows in open sunny habitats, ranging from wet to dry conditions. Optimal conditions seem to be mesic habitats. Teasel sometimes occurs in high quality prairies, savannas, seeps, and sedge meadows, though roadsides, dumps, and heavily disturbed areas are the most common habitats of teasel.
