Queen Anne's Lace is a wonderful wildflower

Writer has never gotten chiggers from it; blackberries are another matter.

Joyce Coomer writes:

Is a wonderful flower. I have several around the forsythia that I haven't mown. Most of them are six feet tall or taller . . . and these are "wild" Queen Anne's lace, not the ones hawked in a seed catalog a few years ago that would get taller than the "wild" Queen Anne's lace . . . hmmm . . . has no one observed that the reason "wild" Queen Anne's lace is seldom above waist high is because it gets mown and regrows and mown and regrows . . .

Oh, and I have never gotten chiggers from Queen Anne's lace . . . but after an afternoon of picking blackberries is a whole 'nuther story!
