Wild Carrot / Queen Anne’s Lace

Wild Carrot (Daucus carota), or Queen Anne’s Lace, is the same species as the domesticated carrot, as can be observed most beautifully when leaving purple carrots in the garden to overwinter; if the two carrots cross, wild carrots will be seen with variations of purple in their flowers for a generations after. The Wild Carrot has an affinity for the urinary tract and reproductive system. Infusions of the aboveground parts treat UTIs. The tiny seeds that form within the nest of a flower are a birth control method - chewing small handfuls throughout a day, every day, creates thin, watery cervical fluid incapable of sustaining sperm.
