Description
This is a plant that grows quite well on my acreage. My dog hates it. My horses would roll in it and then I'd have to pick it out of their manes. I heard somewhere that somebody got the idea for Velcro when they picked these off their clothing. True?
Anyhow...
This is the first time I've had a different view of it. I didn't know it had pink blossoms! I think it's called Burdock.
Thanks for views and comments. Hey! It's Friday!
Have a wonderful weekend.

00.17 am here in sweden and im off to bed...just had to leave one final comment on this marvelous macro of yours. Looks so beautiful with that blueish background...is blueish a word? No dictionary and sleepy...poor compination, LOL. Have an absolutely amazing weekend Jodie #:O)
Beautiful... even noxious weeds can be lovely if viewed the right way. Of course these is no comfort when picking them out of fur, I suspect. Another excellent photo.
Heheh... When I was a kid we used to have burr fights. The green ones weren't good for much, but the dried out brown ones could be quite nasty- especially when aimed at some girl's hair... It's been a long time since I've been involved in that sort of mischief.
I have heard of this plant before but don't know much about it..kinda reminds me of a thistle plant:) It is pretty...excellent capture hun TY for your comment on mine as well Vote n hugs Susan~

Love your title,Jodie.We call them stickleburrs.And wow do they make a nasty mess of your hair!Great shot btw.A beautiful macro of this not so popular plant!LOL!-M :) 08/12/2005 [Delete]
I t does look very much like Burdock, does it have really big leaves? the size of dinner plates? If so the plants are really good for your immune system, they help your thyamus! That aside, nice shot, very clear, Thanx for sharing! 8-)
Quite excellent image; we have something similar in the Arizona mountains that drys out and sticks to dog hair as if attracted by a magnet - takes hours to remove and we generally have to carefully cut them out with sissors - they're a real joy :-) Superb composition!
i think so... look much better here on the plant then tangled up in the animals :]
I know the plant..as young kid we play with it.....love the blue bacground
simply beautiful!
I never knew that this plant is so beautiful! Great shot!
