Queen Anne's Lace

(Carrots) The garden carrot is a large-rooted variety of Queen Anne's Lace. The wild variety is also edible, but there is a danger of confusing it  with any of several poisonous plants, such as poison Hemlock and Water Hemlock. Look for the dark flower that is usually found in the center of the lacy, white umbel of Queen Anne's Lace.

Do you see why I think wildflowers are fascinating?
