everyone’s favorite
I posted these wild carrot photos to Instagram today, and learned–not surprisingly–that queen anne’s lace is many people’s favorite wildflower. I think it may be mine as well. I had never asked myself “what is my favorite wildflower?”, nor pondered whether it is any different than my favorite flower in general. On further contemplation, I think I can say Queen Anne’s Lace is indeed my favorite flower and wildflower. How about you? What is your favorite flower? What is your favorite wildflower? Don’t stress about answering too much, your answer can be different tomorrow. I won’t hold you to it :-)

Aren’t they just the prettiest flower ever?? So lacy and carefree. They look so delicate and yet are so hardy, these stalwarts of the summer roadside. They are a required element in my summer bouquets. And who can resist their nest-looking seed heads or their ferny foliage? They 100% get to stay where ever they show up in my garden beds!
