Carrot carrot

aka Daucus carota (literal translation), Queen Anne's Lace.

Seed pods, looking like miniature hairbrushes. Each pod contains two seeds.

The flowers are white, on pinkish stems, but the central flower is often a deep purple. Here, with a busy ant, out of focus.

Another flower head. No purple centre flower, another ant.

Found at Eve River Rest Area, south of Woss.

  1. One year when I was taking care of my mother I wasn't able to get my carrots out of the ground, so the next spring they went to seed. That's the only time that happened. They did make beautiful flowers, but the roots weren't good for eating any more. - Margy

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
