We stopped the car to stretch our legs and I noticed this curious grouping of plants by the side of the road. I wonder if they’re a form of teasel. I’d love to know, can anyone identify them?

I love these flowers and will sometimes let a patch of them grow in the lawn. I’ve also learned that the leaves when crushed make a healing poultice. Wasp sting? Chew a leaf and slap it on! 😀

We have it here too, it might English Plantain. I just saw a park full of these last week in Calif. where my grandson’s live. They’re so unique and pretty.

Agree with Lynette a Ribwort Plantain, quite common in the UK.

I looked it up. It’s probably a ribwort plantain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_lanceolata
Cheers.
