 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.

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. Leave a Reply. |
