Cutleaf Teasel
Cutleaf teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus) is a perennial herb known for its tall, prickly stems and deeply cut leaves. It is native to Europe and Asia but has been introduced to North America as an invasive species. The plant can grow up to 2-3 meters in height and is characterized by its egg-shaped inflorescence containing numerous small flowers. Each flower lasts only one day, and the plant is monocarpic, flowering once before dying.
