Here's Queen Anne's Lace in a vase. Other name's for this plant are wild carrot, Bishop's lace, bird's nest.
This plant is the origin of our carrot,
Daucus carota. The plant was brought here from Europe and it now naturalized throughout the country.
Even though it's been warmer this year than last year and we had a warmer Spring,
the Queen Anne's Lace is blooming later.
I picked these in the middle of the day and they wilted.
Later I cut the stems and placed them in cool water and they revived. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
My favorite is the multicolored bucket vase...goes so well with the Queen Anne's Lace!
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, everyone has a different favorite. Ha.
DeleteI like Queen Anne's lace, and your vases do it justice.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, and the flowers are free. Ha.
Deletethe blue and white basket is sweet. i like queen anne's lace, even thought a lot of people think of it as a weed.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, that's my favorite one with the flowers too. These weeds are free for the picking and this flower can be used as a substitute in arrangments for baby's breathe as a filler.
DeletePretty things. As weeds/volunteer plants so often are.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, I like the delicate look of the florets.
DeleteHi Linda we have that weed here in Australia too.. along with several other European weeds... I guess the pioneers didn't realize how well things would grow here without the severe winters of England. They look very pretty in your pots.
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, thanks, I guess Australia had the wild carrot brought over just like us. People then and now have no idea how one plant, seed, insect can devastate or enhance a whole botanical culture.
DeleteI love the vases! :)
