The round flat flower is actually a cluster made of smaller clusters of tiny white flowers. The leaves are irregular and carroty, branch out from yellow green off-shoots of the main stem, giving this plant a writhing, fluid look.

Queen Anne's Lace Found at the edge of a field leading to the forest this is a common wild flower. Upon researching, however, I found that there are several similar-looking plants. One, the wild carrot, or Queen Anne's lace, is edible - but be careful not to confuse it with poison hemlock, even small amounts of which can cause paralysis or death. |
