DIPSACUS SATIVUS TEASEL

I took the below images of Dipsacus sativus (teasel) when I visited East Riddlesden Hall in West Yorkshire today.  I would have liked to have shown you a flower in full bloom but they were past that and into their equally interesting seedhead stage.  Prickly little beggars, aren't they?
