Queen Annes’ lace, also known as wild carrot carries often a tiny red dot :
Look closely at the flat, disc-shaped flower clusters—called umbels—and you might notice a red or purple floret in the middle. It is said to resemble a drop of blood that, as legend has it, spilled when Queen Anne of Great Britain pricked her finger while tatting lace.
This biennial plant persists in clay soils and can be a threat to recovering grasslands. After going to seed the dried flower takes on a “birds’ nest” like appearance and can move like a tumble weed to help spread its seeds.
