Description
Nature is exciting! You can tell the season of the year by the bugs and wildflowers around you.
Queen Anne's Lace is a summer wildflower that adores sunshine and waste places. They happily grow at roadsides, in meadows and fields, and anywhere they can put down roots. Often they are in the company of chicory, sometimes called the blue cornflower, and they are a beautiful pairing of delicate, sturdy, white and blue.
Daucus carota grows quite tall and can reach over two feet tall. They attract bees and wasps, a much needed food source for them.
I urge caution, always, when trying to eat or dig up a wildflower. Queen Anne's Lace looks very close to the highly poisonous Water Hemlock. Look for a small, purple or deep red spot right in the middle of the flower head - that is Queen Anne's Lace. The plant can cause an uncomfortable skin reaction in some people, but I've never had a bad reaction.
This picture was taken in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, on July 20, 2019. with my Canon T5i and Canon 100mm Canon macro lens. ISO 200, focus length 100mm.
