What Do You Call This?

Queen Anne's Lace?  That's what it is called here.  Melissa?

It's blooming now at the edge of the woods.

Can't say I recognise it but it's not what I know as Queen Anne's Lace.

I don't know what that is! But not what I call Queen Anne's Lace.   Good luck.

Not queen annes lace.  That is easy to identify b/c before the blooms open they look like birds nests.  QAL is also not a native species but a European import, and takes over sunny fields.  I actually just took these pics on our vacation of some.

Well, was gonna post a pic of a field of them but pb is being a PITA!!  I am going to switch to google pics b/c I am so done with PB!

My best guess is boneset.  Its related to joe pye weed.  Yours looks a bit leggy but guessing thats b/c of your shade.

Actually, I didn't think it was but that is what neighbor told me.  So what is it?

Thanks, Melissa.  I googled it & it does look like that.

Not queen anne's lace. Would you believe that i often see queen anne's lace seeds for sale online and in stores. It is kind of pretty. But i usually see a darkish center in our PA queen anne's lace. Queen anne's lace is related to the carrot, and is in fact sometimes considered a wild carrot. Its roots are edible.
