Queen Anne's Lace/Wild Carrot (Daucus carota)
to try this plant unless you know it well. Poison hemlock's leaves and flowers are very
similar; yet, fatal. Queen Anne's Lace flower umbels have a red dot in the middle (remember
the legend of Queen Anne of England working on her lace; accidentally, pocking one of
her fingers with the needle, and a drop of blood falling on her work).
Like so many other plants that are growing in the wilderness in Colorado, this plant has
been cultivated in gardens, both in Europe and here, for centuries.
