  • I just ordered some of this to plant in our yard. When I was really young growing up, we would go up to my grandfather's place in the country and I would see these white flowers growing everywhere. They had this smell to them that I can only describe as a "country" smell. Nobody could tell me what they were called, and after a lot of research and looking online for the right pictures of this flower (apparently not all of them look flat) I figured out it was Queen Anne's Lace. Awesome plant. :)

  • Awesome!! That dish at the end looks pretty decadent!

  • *The plant harvested in this video (first year plant) is without the stem and flower (so it has none of the identifying characteristics she mentioned). Seek deep levels of familiarity before harvesting.

    *The "nest like structure" = curled up umbels with seed, can actually open and close in response to humidity. *Water hemlock/poison parsnip (genus Cicuta) is another look alike - people have died recently for misidentifying. *Railroad companies do spray herbicides - as she said.

  • If I remember correctly there are two species of wild carrot in North America. The Daucus carota (with the dark center) is from Europe. The D. pusillus is native and does not have the dark center blossom.

  • eat the weeds 

  • wow...I had no idea that's a carrot....wonderful...loved the dance part depicting the wind!...thanks!...I gotta have some!

  • wow...I had no idea that's a carrot....wonderful...are those your location coordinates?...thanks!

  • Be mindful that not all parts of Daucus carota are edible. The seeds are abortifacients, meaning they induce abortion.

  • So cool! Learn something new thanks...
