Burdock by beryl

Burdock

The burdock with its prickly sticky buds . As children we would play with this , throwing the buds at one another and they would stick to our clothing ! As children we used to call them "caca-mwnci " ( in Welsh )- I have no idea what it meant !!
Nice to view if you have the time !
The colours look like miniature thistles, sounds like a lot of fun for kids. lovely DOF and bokeh.

Very nice shot. We used to do the same but with buds of other wild flowers or sheaves of wild wheat.

I think mwnci in English is monkey and the first bit to put it politely could be poo ha ha.

I used to drink gallons of dandelion and burdock when I was a child we sold it in our shop and I loved it. No wonder I have problems with my innards now. ha ha

@onewing Ha ha ! -- yes quite right . Fancy you saying you sold Dandelion and Burdock in your shop when a child My mum had the village stores and we also sold dandelion and burdock - I liked it as a child , but tasted it recently and found it so sweet and not to my more mature taste ! ha ha !

An unknown plant to me. We had a plant called cleavers in the local fields, which clung to our clothes. Have forgotten it's real name.

Lovely shot and pretty greens.

@boatman137 looked up , cleavers - cleavers is its proper name - we knew it as goose-grass ! That also was a sticky grass that clung to you ( and animals !) and had small round seed-heads on it !

Nice textures

My cats come in covered with this and sticky willy, another type of cleaver. Great picture of it.

Looks great on black Beryl and what fun to play with as a child.

I know the plant burdock but not as a tea. I do drink dandelion tea made of stems and flowers, it brings the swelling in my feet down. not more water pills.
