From carrots, obviously. But I’ve never seen anything that looked like them either in the greens or on the edible part of the beloved orange veggie. What’s the Straight Dope?
Carrot Flowers. They will produce seed when smiled upon by the bees.
Queen Anne’s Lace
Yes – I get some Queen Anne’s lace growing in my backyard as a weed, and it’s the same species as the carrot that you buy in the shops. However, the roots are not as orange, and are much thinner that the domesticated carrot.
Posin hemlock, eh? I was wondering where I got the idea growing up that Queen Anne’s Lace was poisinous. Perhaps I was told that to prevent tragedy through confusion.
I expect so - umbellifers are rather easy to mistake for one another.
