  • Queen Anne's lace was the traditional morning after pill for English and American housewives. Recent Chinese research suggests that terpinoids in the seed somehow interfere with egg implantation in animals. DO NOT go out and test this ancient wisdom that dates back to Hippocrates - a dead ringer for POISON  hemlock. Each plants produce nearly identical flowers on similar-sized plants that tend to grow in the same locations. The foliage distinctions are too subtle for the untrained eye.

  • Amazing. I've always loved the decorative aspects of Queen Anne's Lace, but now I know I can use the root in place of a carrot, and I can't wait until autumn when I can try those lemony seeds. Thanks Bill - Thanks Ellen!
