I've been looking for just such a stand of Queen Ann's Lace since May. It doesn't grow so profusely in Texas, but on a drive to Kansas City I expected to find an overrun field. Later, I hoped to discover it while driving across Ohio.
Finally yesterday I found my profuse patch in Onandaga, New York. The lesson? Don't give up. Keep my eyes open and keep looking.

This is a really abundant patch of Queen Anne's Lace. Beautiful. Love the touch of orange
Lovely, and a fascinating composition. The clumps of blossoms, lead one to another but that bit of orange, while it accents and prevents boredom--too strong a word!-- is necessary. This is the perfect day for me for this composition! I have a quilt in process where I have several lines leading out of the picture and need something to draw the eye back in. You have included only one small bit of contrast--just the lesson I needed today. I don't need to re-work what I have, I only need to add a bit of contrast, here and maybe there. Thank you!!!
What lovely flowers these are... I am afraid I have a tough time telling queen ann's lace and water parsnips apart... whatever these are, they are so full and dense and lovely.
Things I miss about living in the east...fields of chickory that morph into Queen Ann's Lace, tulips in the spring, the woods' understory laced with blooming dogwood trees! If we just had some rain in Texas, we would have wildflowers to feed my soul.
I miss seeing this much Queen Ann's Lace! How beautiful!
