Today’s Featured Flower Photo of the Day:
Queen Anne’s Lace

Here is today’s featured photo flower presentation, the final regular weekly outdoor presentation of the year. To let 2025 shine bright, I am featuring fine photos of flowers, continuing to honor the brighter side of life again this year. Today’s Flower of the day are both the  Queen Anne’s Lace.

Queen Anne’s Lace, or the Daucus Carota, are a biennial wildflower tall with hairy, branching stems and fern-like leaves. It features a large cluster of tiny white 3 to 5 inch clustered flowers resembling a lace doily, often with a single dark purple flower in the center. Known as wild carrot, it is related to garden carrots and differs from poisonous hemlock due to its hairy stem, carrot-like scent, and dark flower center. In its life cycle, the plant forms a low rosette of leaves in the first year and a tall stalk with flowers in the second year. It has a distinct carrot smell, while hemlock has a foul odor. Although the young root is edible, it can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals if exposed to sunlight, so gloves are recommended when handling it. The only way to have this plant every year, is to plant 2 sets of seeds to cover the year in between cycles.
