Wild Carrot (Queen Anne's Lace)

Daucus carota - A few large, flat-topped umbels with tiny white flowers top hairy, sometimes nearly smooth. An ancestor of the cultivated carrot. The flowering heads served 18th-century English courtiers as "living lace,: hence the common name. We have these growing in our pastures and even in our driveways amongst the gravel. They are delicate and pretty.
