Description
Queen Anne's Lace is a beautiful, summer wildflower that grows in fields, meadows, and waste areas with full sun. They are often in the company of Chicory (blue cornflower) and it makes a lovely scene with the delicate, white Queen Anne's Lace and the blue of the Chicory.
This is an introduced flower in the USA, a biennial, and our carrots of today were bred from these plants. Although you can safely eat the root of the plant, the leaves are toxic.
A HUGE warning here! Water Hemlock looks very much like Queen Anne's Lace, and I can think of NO plant more poisonous than Water Hemlock!
took this picture with a Canon T4i and a Tamron 18-270 mm lens, on August 9, 2015, in Green Lane, Pensylvania, USA.
