I took some pictures with my phone this week of them in the noonday sun. Not the best pictures, but we were in Missouri visiting and I'm from Minnesota, and I don't know that we have much of this flower in MN. If we do, it's in peoples yards and I haven't noticed. I did notice the little reddish center though, my hubby thought it was a bug...he didn't have his glasses on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158552293122204249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-27629156451313231892012-07-22T00:01:42.517-04:002012-07-22T00:01:42.517-04:00I hadn't noticed that delicate pink tone on th...I hadn't noticed that delicate pink tone on the lace.

I was told that the deep red spot at the center of some flowers was the place that Queen Anne pricked herself while making the lace. If you pick some, and stand them in colored water, the flower will take on the hue of the water (oh, the projects weary grandmothers thought up for their grandkids!).

They often look very fragile but are extremely tough - they have to be to survive our weather.<br /><br />The native plants have roots that are often several feet below the surface.<br /><br />Always enjoy stopping by and seeing your work.<br /><br />Take care.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072219347283927398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-12770875252235417892012-07-21T12:28:06.274-04:002012-07-21T12:28:06.274-04:00you've really captured some gorgeous shots of ...you've really captured some gorgeous shots of something you once thought was so plain. queen anne's lace is a fun reminder of my childhood. i used to pick it with my grandmother and we'd color them with food dye.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-90332096187029704622012-07-21T11:52:08.598-04:002012-07-21T11:52:08.598-04:00I've heard to use the root as a strong carrot ...I've heard to use the root as a strong carrot flavor.Lovely blooms,and the bug you weren't sure of is a Sawfly: Arge ochropa.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-7123549373058248332012-07-21T10:45:39.258-04:002012-07-21T10:45:39.258-04:00i never really pay attention to it either as it...i never really pay attention to it either as it's plentiful and everywhere....i guess that means i take it for granted :(<br /><br />what fun photos of something so ordinary !!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094533582512917616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-5692780725042917242012-07-21T09:58:08.036-04:002012-07-21T09:58:08.036-04:00My mother told me that that purple flower in the c...My mother told me that that purple flower in the center was a purple heart, so that's what I see when I look at it.<br />They are really gorgeous flowers, aren't they?
