I grew some teasels two years ago: and last year grew some more from their
seeds.
They are doing fantastically well - very healthy. I noticed again the
amount
of water which collects in the leaf bases - and then I saw a number of
small
slugs and snails - drowned - in some of them. I wondered if they were
acting
a bit like a Pitcher Plant - and were carnivorous in any way. A few
searches
about teasels and I find that lo and behold they are.

(Off out now to catch some flies to feed my teasels)
So will you be feeding your Teasels with maggots as per the experiment? :-)
