Autumnal Apiaceae . . .
Queen Anne’s Lace: Family Apiaceae
(NYC 09 2019)
Fall arrives late this year, the 23rd of September, on a sunny day as hot as July.
Although it doesn’t quite feel like it, day and night are in balance. Tomorrow begins the speedy transition to shorter days and fall season temperatures.
Meanwhile, the plant world remains green, for now, and the late season palate of white predominates among those still in bloom. The most visible examples are the broad umbels of the wild carrot, Queen Anne’s Lace, Daucus carota.
Living bouquet can be found in bloom throughout the NYC area along fences, beside lamp posts, and even sprouting from the spaces between the stone walls lining the Hudson River.
