Daucus carota carota, the wild carrot (aka bishop’s lace, or queen anne’s lace) is one of the parents of our domesticated carrots. / The other parent is either the south-european subspecies “maximus” or the oriental subspecies “afghanicus”. In this photo we have a close-up of the rolled-up fruit body of the plant. While the seeds ripen it stays in this position, that is sometimes called the “bird’s nest form”. When the seeds are ripe the fruit body reacts on humidity, while it is dry the fruit body opens up to enable the release of the seeds, when it gets wetter it rolls back up into the bird’s nest form. The root of this bianual plant is edible, just like the common carrot. But only in the first year, after that it becomes to woody to consume. If you choose to collect some wild carrots to try and see how they taste, be careful that you don’t confuse them with the very similar Water Hemmlock – which is a poisonous plant that can be deadly to eat. ++ Some more on the wild carrot here: / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_carrot

This wild flower of the family Apiacea was a native of temperate regions of Eurasia and is now naturalised in temperate North-America where it is very common. It is said to have progressed farther north now wich I believe because I found this one in my region of Abitibi, Quebec. / It is a biennial plant growing to 1meter tall and flowering from June to August. The inflorescence is an umbell, pale-pink multiple tiny flowers before opening and striking white when fully open, with sometimes a one single dark red flower in the center. The red flower is colored by anthrocyanine and is there to attract insects. / When it fades and turn to seeds, the umbell contracts and become concave like a bird’s nest. The dried umbell eventually turn to tumbleweeds when detached from the stem. / They are believed to have contraceptive properties. It is also named Queen Anne’s lace for the flowers resembles lace. And the red center flower represents a blood droplet where Queen Anne pricked herself with a needle when making the lace. Information from Wikipedia.
