Flower Power – Queen Anne’s Lace

July 8, 2015 By Vidya 1 Comment

Flower Power   Queen Annes Lace

Every time I come across this weed by the road side I stop to admire how beautiful it is. True to its name the Queen Anne’s Lace resembles an intricately patterned lace with its flattened cluster of tiny white flowers.

Gather a bunch of these pretty flowers, arrange them in mismatched bottles and you’ve got a stunning Summer centerpiece.

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
