Queen Anne's lace

Daucus Carota - also known as 'Wild Carrot', Bird's Nest and Bishop's Lace - is everywhere and at different stages. Quite a few are already at this seed pod forming stage. Isn't nature marvellous. 

Queen Anne’s Lace also has a history of medicinal use. More than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates prescribed crushed Queen Anne’s Lace seeds to prevent pregnancies. Modern research today suggests that there may have been some merit to this, so it is recommended that women who are pregnant or hoping to conceive should avoid both the flower heads and seeds. Over the years, this flower has also had a variety of other uses. Herbalists historically used it as an antiseptic, to soothe the digestive tract, and as a diuretic. Others grated the root of Queen Anne’s lace and mixed it with oil to calm topical burns     https://www.farmersalmanac.com
