[lace] Q.A. Lace continued
Hi All, Just my two cents worth... Us true prairie dwellers (Especially those in the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area, one of the largest Prairie Parks in the U.S.) know Queen Anne's lace to be an invasive. Since it is thought to have originated in England, we still consider it an outsider after all these years. As a weed, It will crowd out other prairie plants given time...but I also love it. My mother-in-law preferred it in her garden more-so that a rose bushgo figure? Nature's Lace is beautiful.

My mother-in-law preferred it in her garden more-so that a rose bushgo figure? Here in Australia it is also regarded as an invasive foreigner and I rip it out by the roots as soon as it appears. We have another very similar plant (also a weed), commonly known as Carrot Fern. I'm sure it's not the same thing as Queen Anne's Lace, although the flower is similar and it does have a white tuber. Then for yet another similar flower there is always Fennel. I don't like fennel either cooked or in salads and also rip it out. I once heard a comedian say that it was brought here by the Italians after WW2 to plant alongside our railway lines - as that's where it's often prolific. For gorgeous nature's lace give me the Bridal Veil fern or even the Stinkhorn fungus :) David in Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] Q.A. Lace continued
G'day Susie, Your nature lace choices are nice also. Could the one with fern like leaves and a white flower be yarrow? Nope - I've got Yarrow, although my flower is pink. And then there is one that some take as Queen Anne's lace which is really Hemlock, a poisonous plant. Ingestion of even a small fragment can be fatal. But that one is native to the US. Whilst I have heard of hemlock, I don't know the plant.

Re: [lace] Q.A. Lace continued
DH's degree is in Botany so when I started telling him plant stuff he was skeptical. When I told him that the way to tell the difference between wild carrot and Queen Anne's Lace (which I've loved since childhood) is that QAL has a purple flower in the center; wild carrot/cow parsley doesn't. One day we were starting on our way somewhere when he came to a screeching halt at the bottom of the drive and jumped out. He went over to a plant and looked at the flower and got back into the car with a silly grin saying, I'll be darned! Linda, the String-a-holic in Oregon where it's really summer!

Hello Everybody, to this theme I too have something. We have a big parc in the western part of HH named Dahliengarten - dahlia-garden. What means the huge parc is full of dahlias, every color every shape. And one day years ago I saw under a white very fine and with pointed ends written Hirschgeweih Dahlia - Dentelle de Venise -antlers dahlia -lave of Vencia. I hope I could find one of my fotos than I put it in my arachne-fotoalbum.
