I hadn't realised Queen Anne's Lace was wild carrot. I remember the profusion of it alongside the towpath of the Wey River in spring and early summer. As gz says, it's so delicate.
Amazing that they grow all along the roadsides here in Canada too. One of my favourite wildflowers. Nice photo -- you can see every one of the little flowers looking so soft and glowing.
VJ, thank you :-) I suspect it's often ignored simply because it's abundant and looks pale rather than gaudy. Another example of the rewards of looking closely.
So delicate. We've been riding up lanes full of Hawthorn blossom and Queen Anne's Lace today..smelling heavenly
ReplyDeletegz, that sounds great!

ReplyDeleteLesley, it looks delicate, but I'm sometimes struck by how wiry it is. I like the way it's an insect magnet, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you capture the things we just walk past without thinking about :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa :-)
