Queen Anne's lace
Queen Anne's lace is a wildflower known for its delicate, white, lace-like flowers that bloom in flat clusters. It typically grows in fields, along roadsides, and in meadows, reaching heights of 2 to 4 feet. The plant has feathery, fern-like leaves and a sturdy stem, making it easily recognizable.
This plant is also known as wild carrot because its root resembles that of cultivated carrots. While the flowers are beautiful, they can be mistaken for the toxic poison hemlock, so caution is advised when foraging. Queen Anne's lace attracts various pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
