Description
While walking a nature trail I came upon a field full of wildflowers. This interesting plant with clusters of tiny cream flowers opening captured my eye. It is a type of Queen Anne's Lace and the flowers are opening. I used texture to accent it's beauty.

Queen Anne's Lace or Daucus carota is a variable biennial plant, usually growing up to 1 m tall and flowering from June to August. The umbels are claret-coloured or pale pink before they open, then bright white and rounded when in full flower, measuring 3-7cm wide with a festoon of bracts beneath; finally, as they turn to seed, they contract and become concave like a bird's nest. This has given the plant its British common or vernacular name, Bird's Nest. Very similar in appearance to the deadly poison hemlock, it is distinguished by a mix of bi-pinnate and tri-pinnate leaves, fine hairs on its stems and leaves, a root that smells like carrots.
