This is Queen Anne's Lace blooming on my hillside.  Actually it's next to the steps going down to the bottom deck.  Probably going to have to remove it, but AFTER it finishes blooming.  I love these.  Maybe I'll just tie them back from the steps.
 

Queen Anne's Lace is in the same family as carrots, celery, parsley, cilantro.  Its botanical name is Daucus carota, and it's commonly called wild carrot.  The roots of first year plants are edible, wild carrots.  They bloom the second year.  By then the roots are too tough to eat.  Besides, carrots in the grocery store are cheap.  Why go to all the work to find, AND CLEAN the wild ones.  We've done it, because we could, but it's more work than benefit.  
 

You can see Queen Anne's Lace in meadows and fields everywhere.  Look as you're driving out of the community, in the meadow:  Lots of lacy umbrella shaped blooms, standing about 2 feet tall.  

 

Some people call them troublesome weeds.  WHAAAT?

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
