A Few Views Of Queen Anne’s Lace.

This flower really is a weed – it’s everywhere in these parts, nondescript, long and leggy and waving in the breeze.

But through its many forms and stages, I always find its umbel interesting, for its constellation of parts:

…and for its structural genius, with an array of solar collectors arranged in fractal iterations:

…for the detail in its center, the blood-red blossom where Queen Anne’s needle missed its stitch:

…for its angelic blush on first opening:

…and for how it Plays Well With Others:”

But that’s another post.
