Teasel

Today's the day ...................... for a first

I'm wondering if the above is the first example to appear on blipfoto - of a self-growing teasel seed head?

The familiar spikey cone-like flower heads remain after the tiny purple flowers have finished.  The seeds form and the whole thing turns brown in the winter.  I imagine the seeds that haven't been eaten by goldfinches and the like, would then be scattered far and wide by the wind - and start to grow a new generation of teasel plants.  This one here though has cut out the middle bit and just progressed to the seed-germination stage, in situ.

It probably has helped to have a never-ending supply of rain to the seed head - and a winter that has never been extremely cold.  It's certainly something that I've never seen before .......................?!
