Dicot and Bramble family

I saw this beautiful flower while walking in the woods but didn't realise I had to wade through brambles to get there. The brambles incarcerated me and broke my fall. A torn jacket, a small price to pay. The flower brings a smile to my face.

Ouch, the things we do to get a photo. The thorns look lethal. Hope the jacket wasn't new.

Beautiful flower. The thorn is quite scary

@onewing The jacket was an old comfortable one. Repaired now.

@365projectorgchristine I think you're right on both counts Christine. As someone else has said many sheep become caught up in the pervasive brambles.
