Queen of the Meadow

Queen of the Meadow

She blooms throughout the summer days
   in fields and meadows too.

Her stem is strong and sturdy
   against the sky so blue.

She grows where'er she pleases
   and freely spreads her seed.

Her flowers white and delicate
   to some, she is a weed.

You'll know her by the dress she wears
   with elegance and grace.

Bestowing beauty everywhere
  beloved Queen Anne's Lace.

Hello Christine - I love your QAL! I chose it as my logo on the cards I used to make because of my name, but as you can see from my Gmail account, I used the alternate common name there because I feel more often like a wild carrot than queenly.

I hope you write and illustrate a book about this wildflower!
Love and Big hugs!
Your sister,
Anne

Thanks, Anne! How sweet that we both share a love for this wild flower! I love your Wild Carrot email name too. I always felt they were an elegant flower and not just a weed. And yes, some day, I hope to write and illustrate a book for children on all kids of wild flowers, to inspire in them a love for plants, including so-called weeds.
love, your plant-loving sister,
Christine
