Dried Queen Anne's LaceDried Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace, also known as Wild Carrot—this is what your garden carrots would look like if you let them bloom—is one of the last wildflowers of the year to give up the blossoming ghost. A few Queens, with their beautiful umbels of tiny white flowers, were still gracing the meadows in November. But the frosts took the petals and left behind was a very different kind of beauty, an intricate tracery that calls to mind growing seasons past and future. And catches the eye of the observer.
