I drive by them every time I am out on an errand, a whole field full of Queen Anne's Lace by the side of the road. They look so pretty and lacy and stand up so tall in among the long grass.Yesterday I couldn't resist any longer. I just had to pick some!
Click on the photo above and you can see tinges of pink in it. Isn't that beautiful?
They look just perfect in a white pitcher sitting on a white wicker chair.
It calms my soul just looking at them. In the midst of a busy stressful day sometimes just a moment to reflect on something beautiful can give me the peace that I'm longing for. Maybe it will do the same for you today.Rhondi xo
How delicately sweet a bouquet. I use them often for fillers in arrangements, they just add that special touch. The beauty that can be found in God's 'weeds'. TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these flowers before, maybe we know them as something else. They are beatiful whatever you call them.

What a beautiful arrangement you've made, Rhondi! Have a blessed Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThey are so simple yet very beautiful.

They are so pretty. Just the other day I was trying to remember what they are called. Thanks for the reminder. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! We call them 'Lady's Lace'. Sadly their real name is Cow Parsley, not very elegant!
ReplyDeleteAnother favourite of mine I used to grow to go with my roses I had, love them so much. Those and Gypsophila, white and pink.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely. So delicate looking and the perfect setting in the graceful white pitcher and the wicker chair is stunning. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bouquet! You really have a way of creating beautiful, soothing vignettes, Rhondi!

I love Queen Annes Lace! I am always so happy to see them on the side of the road. I know that they are a weed, but they would look pretty growing in a garden, I think.

My grandmother often had a vase of Queen Annes Lace on her table. She would put food coloring in the water. The white flowers would turn whatever color she tinted the water.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely. I can't imagine a whole field of Queen Anne's Lace.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely. I can't imagine a whole field of Queen Anne's Lace.

My mother's favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Anne Lace. Mary, another blogger also picked some for her front porch. They look very pretty in the white vase.

Hi Rhondi! Queen Annes lace grows across the street from me in a field, I think it is so pretty. I even add it to other flowers. I like the wicker chair with the pitcher on it, very pretty....hugs, Jennifer
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how such a simple little bouquet can look so beautiful and calming? They are lovely Rhondi:>)
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Ann's Lace. I have probably done something illegal by pulling some up and trying to transplant it in my yard. It didn't work though. Your picture of it in the white pitcher on the white chair is just charming. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi and welcome home :)
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Anne's Lace and want to grow some here. I love the way you've displayed it.

VERY pretty!

There's something special about bringing home field flowers. We've been in our place long enough for me to now have some favorite patches of wild flowers. I always pick some and leave enough to go to seed for next year.
ReplyDeleteOh Rhondi, those are breathtakingly beautiful! You have done such a wonderful job of presenting them. I often see them growing wild here along the hedgerows and we also have some in our garden. They really are quite lacy and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree Rhondi. Simple things like this can really be a peace bringer into one's life. It varies for every person but we always have "something" that will make us smile and sometimes make our worries go away.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice how flowers like The Queen Anne's Lace is so accessible by everyone. I bet they're always there and people just pass them through. Oh if only they took a stop so they can also appreciate this beauty.

They're beautiful in the white pitcher on that beautiful white wicker chair! Gorgeous photo!

I love Queen Anne's Lace. Rhondi, did you receive the package from me yet?
ReplyDeleteSo much more fluffy than our English Queen Anne's lace Rhondi which I posted about yesterday (great minds think alike). Your Q A L looks wonderful...must be your climate!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! What great photo's. That store looks divine!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful, and I always love your arrangements. You have a wonderful eye for placing things.
