simple pleasures...

queen anne's lace... actually a member of the carrot family....wild carrot...
one of my favorite wild flowers...i love the 'bird nest' look before it fully opens...these lacy flowers are all along the roadsides and fields this time of year.
i collect some each year and dry them on a shelf of chicken wire
to use in arrangements and sometimes on my
christmas tree....

simple pleasures....

I think Queen Ann's Lace is very pretty. I have a friend whose family owns a florist shop & I think she know they all.
