I've had teasels in my garden for years but have only had bristly oxtongue (although seen many out and about) since I moved late last year so I now have the 2 next to each other and thought it would be interesting to compare the leaves. Bristly oxtongue (Helminthotheca echioides) left, teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) right.
