Wild carrot

Day 17 #365DaysWild 

Absolutely love this wild carrot time of year… 

The compound lacy flat heads of wild carrot (daucus carrota) have a little distinctive central freckle.

Their seeds are held in a fibrous goblet that is good for harvest mice as well as finches.

Individually or in a group, they’re stars of our summer meadow…

Wild carrot is the larval food plant for fourteen moth species
