Queen Anne’s Lace
APIACEAE, The parsley family
I made my mom a wedding bouquet of white Dendrobium orchids, lady fern from the woods and the Queen Anne’s lace that grows along the edges of the fields and in the meadow. It was fun to combine the flowers of the woods and fields with the tropical flowers that my Uncle John sent ahead from Hawai’i, and the vibrant glads and dahlias from mom’s neighbor Therese’s garden. I used the brightest tropical flowers on the deck where the dinner was served, and in the house I put together arrangements for the kitchen, dinning room, bathroom and bedrooms, and the weaving studio. These are the flowers there were:
