Queen Anne's lace
Wild carrot bloom
Queen Anne's lace is a wild plant with flat clusters of tiny white flowers that resemble delicate lacework.
The flowers often have a single dark floret at the center.
Native to Europe, it grows commonly along roadsides and in fields throughout North America.
The plant is also called wild carrot—its taproot is the ancestor of the cultivated carrot.
