I am a city gardner in zone 5/6. Dramatic temp swings in this area with cold winters, and hot summers. Love to grow my own fruit and veggies!

Daucus carota

I've let this little strip between my front lawn and sidewalk go wild. Bees don't mind one bit. #selfseed #queenanneslace #wildflowers #sidewalkgarden #beefriendly

Looks great! That must attract so many pollinators. Are you responsible for it’s maintenance or does a local authority normally take care of it? I have a similar grass verge outside my house but I dare not plant anything in it as our local authority would just strim it all down 😒 - would love to if I could.

The city doesn't maintain the strip there, and they don't mind if it's planted out. Some wildflowers, and hosta a bit further down is all I've put in so far @richard.spicer.7906 thanks all @columbiariver @sieveheadsarah @alif

We did this last year-found the ladybugs like to dig inside the heads so we saved the densely packed heads for them for the winter. This year we have selfseeded carrots growing everywhere but that's okay too😊

@saco pretty pic. Did you know thst Queen Anne’s lace is said to have been named after Queen Anne of England. Legend is she was making her wedding gown lace and pricked her finger with a needle, a single drop of blood fell from her finger onto the lace, leaving the dark red dot in the flower’s center.

@Susanandsteve It's such a pretty flower. There are a few different versions of the legend.

I think this is daucus carota. The red flower in the center is a tell.

Unfortunately garden tags has it labeled as this @DonNotDonny

I think there's a listing for daucus carota here, it's just a different common name. The Latin name is the important part, it's how you know that you have the right plant. This plant's Latin name doesn't match. I think you can suggest an edit for a common name if you call it something different.

Thanks for help @DonNotDonny @KelsiBriana this is daucus carota, wild carrot, Queen Annes Lace, I think the prob is English. In USA this is Queen Annes Lace, in England it has another name, unfortunately GT does not have these labeled correctly

Also, how do you request name change? @kelsibriana

The wild flower queen Anne's lace ( which is the wild carrot) will have a small black floret in the center of the bloom, any other similar will be be another type. Ammi magus is an annual, also called bishops weed or false QAL. The wild QAL is perrenial
