Here's my contribution, not as expertly taken as yours. The one I photographed
seems to have two purple florets and purple on the stems as well although I can't
tell for sure.

Someone posted a picture from another part of the country in the photography
newsgroup and it was the same way. I made mention of it, but no answers.

I just want to share this, in case anyone is as fascinated by this as I am:
I find that I notice a lot more since I've started photograhing flowers - I
never noticed before but there is a tiny purple-black flower right in the
center of all those other white flowers that make up a Queen Anne's Lace
flower. From what I've now read, this central flower is sterile and will not
produce seed - it might be there to attract pollinators. My pictures:

(Maybe that was obvious to everyone else, but I find it pretty interesting).
