Description
A Queen Anne's Lace flower cluster, just beginning to unfurl. I don't know that I have ever seen one in this state, or maybe I just never noticed, among all the fully opened flowers. I find it really beautiful.
Queen Anne's Lace, aka Wild Carrot, is found along roadsides, in fields, and meadows. Unlike some of it's poisonous cousins, the Queen Anne's Lace is edible! The root, the leaves, and even the flower itself. Early Europeans cultivated Queen Anne’s lace, and the Romans ate it as a vegetable. American colonists boiled the taproots in soups and stews, and sometimes in wine as a treat. Interestingly, Queen Anne’s lace is high in sugar (second only to the beet among root vegetables), and was used as a sweetner by some cultures.
