Teasing with Teasels

Teasels (the Teasel Family, the Dipsacaceae) abound in the semi-wetlands by the Great Salt Lake!  I believe that they are weeds in other parts of the country, but in this environment, they add a beauty and structure that can be very interesting.  Especially when there has been hoarfrost - and the sun begins to peek through!  Ice crystals on teasels can be awe inspiring.
