That does look like lace. You must travel a lot to get those shots.
Love the Queen Anne's Lace. You know, we see it so much that I don't even think about it, but is Queen Anne's Lace common outside of the South?
I love Queen Anne's Lace - probaby because it was one of the first flowers Mother taught me to identify.
Even though they have those little hitchhikers that attach themselves to your socks, I love Queen Anne's Lace! The lady who was the original owner of Rockbridge (mother of the current owner) used to color it red and blue for the Fourth of July. I can't remember for sure, but I think she just used food coloring in water and let it soak up the colored water, thus coloring the blooms. I've always thought I would try it, but I never have. Wouldn't that make a pretty, patriotic bouquet? Using the black background was the perfect foil for the delicate flowers in your beautiful pictures. Hope you've had a good weekend!
Isn't it amazing that such a simple, overlooked wildflower could have such intricate beauty. I'm surprised that there wasn't a column to accompany these pictures -- something having to do with a wizened great-aunt who painstakingly linked together lace with her gnarled hands. Are you sure you don't have one?
Love the photos.
I grew up in northwest Indiana with Queen Anne's Lace...it makes even ugly industrial sites look better.
