Wild wild carrot

White topped roadside flower #daucuscarota or "wild carrot" or "queen annes lace" Stretches across roadsides for miles around IL. But did you know this is the EXACT SAME species as the carrot bugs bunny eats today? It is. The wild version is pre-humanized...the root is edible ONLY while young (and it's pretty bitter) and becomes woody with age. Some people use the flowers to make a fancy pink jelly you might use at a tea party. Know the plants around you! #saveplantstosavetheplanet
