Queen Anne's Lace Blossom

Southern Vancouver Island

Legend has it that Queen Anne, the wife of King James I, was challenged by her friends to create lace
as beautiful as a flower. While making the lace, she pricked her finger, and it’s said that the
purple-red flower in the center of Queen Anne’s Lace represents a droplet of her blood. Also called
Wild Carrot (since Queen Anne’s Lace is the wild progenitor of today’s carrot), Bishop’s Lace or Bird’s
Nest (for the nest-like appearance of the bright white and rounded flower in full bloom), in the
language of flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace represents sanctuary. ~ Teleflora Flower Quides
