Carrot Orange

The other day I found myself skulking around down in a ditch, stalking Queen Anne’s Lace for the sake of a photo.  Another name for this plant is Wild Carrot, but that orange glow at the bottom of the scene is not from carrots…..

Its coming from a crowd of these orange Day-Lilies, which long ago “escaped from gardens”, according to the wildflower book.  They grow in large patches here and there along the roadsides in our area.
