Lesser Burdock
Arctium minus
Daisy family
The spines on the flower heads stick to clothing of the coats of animals and seeds may be dispersed in this way. This may have inspired the invention of velcro.In South Queensferry, a man clad completely in burrs, the Burry Man, spent an entire day in this uncomfortable garb as part of a traditional celebration. After a day of drinking, the discomfort became tolerable.
