Monday, June 29, 2020 Daucus Carota

Daucus Carota…what a name for such a beautiful girl. She’s a wild carrot, showing up in very unorganized gatherings in places like ditches and roadsides. You might say she’s a commoner. But someone looked at her and saw something very uncommon, an appearance like the lace worn by royalty. And so she became “Queen Anne’s Lace,” which I think much more befitting her carriage and appearance. Wherever she appears, she brings beauty and grace.

Daucus Carota,
Wild threads from God’s true bobbins.
Royalty, indeed.

I haiku a lot, don’t I? My motto: In a world full of haiku, there’s always room for one more.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning.

P.S. Found out later that the photo above was of a yarrow plant. How embarrassing! A commoner imposter usurping the place of royalty! So here’s the elegant lady reclaiming her rightful place on the throne:

  1. Hey, Lynnie, your blog is more than musings – it’s educational! I’ll never look at Queen Anne’s Lace the same way again..!
