lace

Queen Anne's Lace is not a native of this continent, and it thrives on neglect. Lots of people call it a weed. Ok, it does have a weedy tall habit, with blooms only on the ends of long bare-ish stems. But have a look at the wealth of blossoms, the mysterious darkdark purple flowers (just barely visible) in the center, the exuberant arangement of the flowers.... These are very good for all sorts of welcome beneficial insects, in addition to being beautiful.
