Hail to the Queen

Queen Anne's Lace, that is. 
 

These amazing and unique beauties are in full splendor these days. Each blossom has its own special design and character. The one above has a brilliant red center standing out against the lacy white petals. 



Piper has a tendency to try to photobomb almost everything I stop to photograph. She's always curious about what I've found. 


This blossom still has pink around the edges as it unfurls. I love the way the spotted knapweed in the background complements and brings out the color.  


This one has the look of a twisting spiral. I can almost imagine it spinning like a pinwheel. 

I've already done a carving of one of these flowers, but they still call to me. :)

I've never seen one with a red flower in the center, only ones with a dark colored center. Cool. Once I found a Queen Ann that was bigger than my hand. I didn't take a pic and have regretted it ever since! Thanks for the Queens!
