Queen Anne’s lace is a biennial plant that grows 2 to 4 feet tall in its 2nd year. The umbles are bright white when in full flower. Domesticated carrots are cultivars of this plant so it is often called “Wild Carrot.” The root of Queen Anne’s lace is edible when it is young but becomes woody very fast.
My mom and I were walking down a dirt road on Saturday night and we saw these flowers growing on the side of the road. My mom told me that they if you place the cut flowers in food coloring they will change colors so we took a few home to try it. I could see a change the next morning – especially in the blue & red.
Another interesting fact is that the crushed seeds of this plant have been used as natural birth control for over 2000 years and researches have found much truth to this.
