Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum)
Found growing at the foot of the cliffs in Kessingland. At the moment it is green with it’s little pink flowers but come Autumn it will be more familiar with the brown prickly stems and spiny seed heads. These seed heads will later be frequented by seed feeding birds like Goldfinches. The seed heads are a natural comb and were wildly used in the textile industry to raise the nap.
