Why It Might Be Called Bird's Nest
So here's a close-up view of the Queen Anne's Lace that I shared yesterday. The flower appears to form a bird's nest as it begins to open and mature. I am fascinated by the intricacies of each portion of the blossom. Many parts create the illusion of lace or a white cloud that floats at the top of the stalk. The details are wondrous. I converted the image to black and white to draw attention to the structure of the flower. Even weeds are marvelous!
