Queen Anne's Lace and Chiggers (Or Lack Thereof) Experience with chiggers and Queen Annes lace has been good; not so chiggers and blackberries. On the shapes of Queen Anne's lace blooms: Blooms of Queen Anne's lace will vary in shape and intricacy. Some will resemble a snowflake, some will be mostly flat, some will be slightly cupped and some will be domed. Click on headline for complete story with links to related stories. By Joyce M. Coomer I occasionally leave a few patches of Queen Anne's lace in the yard when I mow. Sometimes individual plants will get at least eight feet tall -- or look that way since they're a lot taller than I am and the blooms will be a foot or more out of my reach. (Several years ago Burpee's had Queen Anne's lace seeds for sale, touting that their seeds would grow plants more than six feet tall. Umm . . . tall Queen Anne's lace is like tall oak trees -- no one cut it down!) I've used Queen Anne's lace in bouquets, and will tip a drooping bloom upright so I can compare it to other blooms on the same plant. Blooms of Queen Anne's lace will vary in shape and intricacy. Some will resemble a snowflake, some will be mostly flat, some will be slightly cupped and some will be domed. With all my close acquaintance with Queen Anne's lace, it is one thing I have never gotten chiggers from. Blackberries, however, are a totally different story! The only time I didn't get chiggers while picking blackberries was the day it seemed like I picked as many ticks off of me as the amount of blackberries I picked from the canes! -Joyce M.
