Along with Chicory (see below), Queen Anne\u2019s lace (Daucus carota<\/em>) is one of the great roadside wildflowers.\u00a0 The common name comes from the beautiful white flowers.\u00a0 They are clustered into flowering stalks called umbels, with what looks like a single flower at first actually being a bunch of umbels each made of a group of individual flowers that arise from the same spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Umbels look like tiny umbrellas (maybe from the same root word?). Queen Anne\u2019s lace is in the carrot family, the Apiaceae, formerly called the Umbellifera because to the distinctive flowering stalks found in the group of plants.\u00a0 Often inflorescences, or flowering stalks, are a key to the family a plant belongs to.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Queen Anne\u2019s lace is native to Europe.\u00a0 It is the species from which the domesticated carrot was derived.\u00a0 Wild plants have somewhat fleshy tap root. Their leaves definitely look carrot-like.<\/p>\n

Some inflorescences have a single black or dark purple flower in the center.\u00a0 This is thought to make it more attractive to pollinators.<\/span><\/div>\n

Lots of Queen Anne\u2019s lace can be seen around Indy this summer, even with our heat and drought.\u00a0 I nice stand is in the formerly landscaped area near the sidewalk at the former Bee Windows store on 54th<\/sup> Street near the Monon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
