Burrs of Burdock SOLD

The hooking barbs of the burrs on a burdock plant attach themselves to anything and everything but are quite beautiful when the light hits the end of the barbs. The burdock plant is a very invasive plant but the root is said to have healing properties. Nature at its finest.

An interesting item of trivia I read from the computer, Velcro was modeled after the burrs of a burdock plant by an engineer, Georges de Mestral.
