I had read about how teasels capture rainwater at the base of their sessile leaves and that the plant absorbs nutrients from insects that drown in the water. I hadn’t seen it in action, though, until I noticed new teasel growth at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal and saw the pools of water and decaying organic matter. Very cool! #teasel #dipsacus #carnivorousplant #anacortes https://www.instagram.com/p/Byvgp3fBfOk/?igshid=1xorm24otpsp6
