Description
My favorite wild flower is Queen Anne's Lace! When I was quite young I gathered a bouquet of these beautiful lacy blooms only to be told "They are weeds". I was devastated! I retreated to my secret place talking to the flowers, telling them "You are too beautiful to be weeds. Even your name is beautiful". To this day I always look at the Queen Anne's lace flowers with fondness and the knowledge that they are beautiful wildflowers native to my area.
Queen Anne’s lace flowers have a flat-topped white umbel, sometimes with a solitary purple flower in the center. These flowers bloom from late spring until mid-fall. Each flower cluster is made up of numerous tiny white flowers. The flower cluster start out curled up and opens to allow pollination. The cluster then rolls itself shut again, like a reverse umbrella when it goes to seed at the end of the season.
