The dipsacus Fullonum is one of the plants found on the site. This plant is actually required from the federal authorities from farmers who wants to obtain financial support for floral fallow land, as it indicates the health of the land. This plant is used by some little birds for whom the dipsacus is strong enough to support them, but not for predators, where they can show up and perform their love dances. |
Still it remains a pioneer plant that is robust and fast growing. I found it this summer on the site used by Lois Weinberger in Kassel at the Hamburger Bahnhof for the piece WHAT IS BEYOND PLANTS/IS AT ONE WITH THEM, 1997 |
