I love the Queen Anne’s Lace wildflowers that are blooming everywhere on Cape Cod. They are such a pretty, delicate wildflower that looks just like a piece of lace. (Click on blog link to see additional photos.)
They are so interesting to watch as they bloom and then go by. They start out looking like a beautiful piece of lace. As they mature, they start folding up as you can see in the 2nd photograph.
They will fold all the way up (photo 3), dry out and release their seeds (photo 4).
It is quite amazing, don’t you think?
Another wonderful sequence!
I thought this website had some interesting information about the legend behind the flower as well as its alternate names, which I’d never heard of. 🙂
