Description
PLEASE NOTE: Fine Art America watermark in the lower right hand corner will NOT be on your purchased item.
Here is another view of the Queen Anne's Lace flower, or the "Wild Carrot" This plant was introduced from Europe, and is now a common plant in dry fields, ditches, meadows, and open areas. In this photograph the flower grows in a field in front of a lagoon. The reflection of the setting sun on the water is in the background of this shot.
There is a caution, though - If you are planning to eat this plant, be very careful not to confuse Wild Carrot with other similar species, some of which are DEADLY POISONOUS. Be sure that the plant you think is WIld Carrot actually smells like carrots and is growing in a dry field.
Queen Anne's Lace earned its name from a legend that tells of Queen Anne of England (1665-1714) pricking her finger. A drop of blood landed on the white lace she was sewing.
