Queen’s Floret

Forget that photo of a Queen Anne’s Lace center blossom I posted last week.  Here is a new and improved view…..

The wildflower book states that Queen Anne’s Lace---aka Wild Carrot---often has a deep purple floret in its center (looks more like deep red to me).  For many years, while on my daily walks, I would plod right past these roadside plants, never noticing the tiny, colorful center florets.  Then digital cameras were invented and I bought one and commenced my pastime of photographing wildflowers, an activity which naturally involves coming to a halt for that often-neglected closer look.
