Lovely, Yet Beware The Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace flowers grow in abundance and that makes me very happy..The flowers are arranged in small clusters, tightly packed together in an umbrella-like shape (umbel) with a flat top

 

Oftentimes, there will also be one purple flower at the center of the umbel. In Daucus carota, the amount of toxin overall is small, though it has been known to cause a slight intoxication to grazing large mammals, like cattle and horses, when ingested.

 

Skin contact with Daucus carota foliage, especially wet foliage, or contact with the cell sap can cause skin irritation.
