My pleasure nemitchell, it is a favorite wildflower from my childhood in which I still love today.. It is wonderful in bouquets & you are right the seeds do look similar to carrot seeds. :-)
Thanks TammyVerhovec! It definitely looks like Queen Anne's Lace. I thought the seeds looked similar to carrot seeds!
Looks like an american wildflower called Queen Anne's Lace.. That is what it looks like at the end of it's life cycle. It is a lovely white flower with a reddish black dot in the center & it has a tap root that smells similar to carrots.
