New Species - Wild Teasel

On the rough ground below the East Field a tall plant has appeared which I did not know but which turns out to be Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) A common enough flower but a first record for The Beeches. It does seem to have a habit of drowning a load of insects in water collecting where the leaves meet the stem.
