After seeing the perfection of the Dahlia flowers at the Iowa State Fair - it isn't always serious competition - this is one of the veggies spotted in a contest of oddity produce!

It was sitting on a busy background, so I simplified it with one of my textures.

The dead ‘bird’s nest of the wild carrot forms a welcome shelter for spiders whose webs stretch from ‘nest’ to ‘nest’. Daucus carota

This is one of my earliest carrot abstracts. A few months ago I messed around with it a little more and liked the result as it reminded me a bit of Klimt. I never posted it because the colors looked as dull of dishwater. With my new monitor they look fairly bright - and right on (but not, I hope, over) the border of over-saturated.

Weston-super-Mare's £300,000 Bus Shelter named the 'Carrot' enjoys the early morning light. Hey, we may not have any money for Buses, but we have a great Shelter!

No, this half-inch-long beetle doesn't eat carrots. He eats flowers such as dahlia, iris, lily, and sunflower both above and below ground. In numbers, these guys can ruin a garden in a hurry. Any guess on the ID of the tiny insect on the ventrum of the beetle?

Always liked the look of the carrot 'tops'.

Macro Mondays theme 'leaf'.

The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist. They are a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are eaten as well. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot. Flower development begins when the flat meristem changes from producing leaves to an uplifted, conical meristem capable of producing stem elongation and a cluster of flowers. The cluster is a compound umbel, and each umbel contains several smaller umbels (umbellets). The first (primary) umbel occurs at the end of the main floral stem; smaller secondary umbels grow from the main branch, and these further branch into third, fourth, and even later-flowering umbels. 4992

I love making soup and I have a wonderfully simple yet tasty recipe for Carrot Soup that I make on a regular basis.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

Daucus carota ( common names include wild carrot, bird's nest, bishop's lace, and Queen Anne's lace), a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae.

Carrot sticks with a little butternut squash.

Mmmmm homemade carrot cake

Carrots, celery and onion. The start for many recipes but today it's for minestrone soup.

So many varieties. Carrots contain beta-carotene, a molecule that is said to be good for night vision - eat them up!

Quite a healthy crop at that! The yield of carrot wouldn't be great though - wild ones do not have the bulbous edible root that cultivated ones do

A cake made of carrots, it's the future!

I planted carrot seeds in January, using the winter sowing method... Buster loved to eat them and the carrot tops are a host plant for Black Swallowtails... my Buster is no longer with us, so I have a pot full of tiny carrots...

My entry for Macro Monday - Vegetable... the carrot is about 2" long...

I had some reject carrots from the farmstand, which are like candy for goats. Julianne and the others make funny faces if I don't give them the carrots right away.

I planted the seeds in August and just harvested my first ever carrot harvest this month! Yay!!

Carrot Tops:- you'd think it could have a better name!

Carrot Tops; Platysace linearifolia

No these aren't Wild Carrots (Queen Anne's Lace) just some carrots growing in the polytunnel sent up flowers & I left them because the insects love them. Topaz Glow filter "Whisker wires Cherry blossom" lifted the original dull image slightly. Best viewed Large.

Flickr photo editor has changed since the last time I uploaded a photo & I can't seem to find a way to add a thin white border to this. Anyone got any suggestions? The old system was great I don't know why they had to change it.

This plant is the wild ancestor of the domestic carrot. After flowering, the umbels curl up and eventually drop off, spreading the seeds like a tiny tumbleweed.
