White wildflower in northern NJ
Kindly identify the wildflower in these photos. The plant is common in
July in northern New Jersey. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sha...&.dnm=290e.jpg http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sha...&.dnm=2117.jpg http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sha...&.dnm=70e0.jpg The photos are also accessible as plant 7 in the Spring Flowers album at http://photos.yahoo.com/shahswim. |
White wildflower in northern NJ
Shame on you for not knowing this very common plant.
If you pull a plant up, you will notice that the roots smell exactly the same as a carrot. That's because it's "Wild Carrot", Daucus carota, more popularly known in this country as "Queen Ann's Lace". Actually its not a native plant but it was introduced from Europe long ago.

Kindly identify the wildflower in these photos. The plant is common in July
in northern New Jersey. Queen Anne's lace, Daucus carota. It is the wild ancestor of the carrot. I believe it is a native of Europe. In the future, I suggest you look in a field guide to wild flowers first. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train."

Wake up, Mikey, and don't be such a gimp.
There are so many wild flower books out there that even a trained chimp could easily identify such a common plant without trying very hard.

Just this morning I was stuck on the ID of a plant in the carrot family, and the closest I could find was Wild Carrot. But seeing the OP's photos, I now have doubts. Mostly because of the very hairy stems. So, what's this one...? http://www.seanet.com/~pmar/jse_Wild Carrot 1.JPG Pete |

Well, since you had identified the plant perfectly adequately, there would have been no point in repeating the information. Smell is only one clue, and it's not reliable on its own; I imagine many blind people would agree. As I said, learners need confirmation of their diagnoses. You no doubt take the attitude which suits your purposes; but I'd like to see more people joining this very slow group rather than being put off by insults from total strangers. Mike. |

There is no way anybody could confuse wild carrot with poison ivy. If you
have ever eaten salad, you would be familiar with the smell of carrots. There are hundreds of wild flower books. You can find at least one of them at your local library. Try the gardening newsgroups.

If you live in northern New Jersey, I'd suggest making use of the library at
Rutgers (New Brunswick) or Ramopo State College. New York Botanical Garden has plant identification clinics, or could recommend someone who might assist. Their mission is education of all levels of botanical experience. Check with the Torrey Botanical Club for additional information http://www.torreybotanical.org/ There are several illustrated keys, as well as academic books like Gleason and Cronquist Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. van Nostrand 1963, and successive volumes of M. L. Fernald's revisions of Gray's Manual of Botany. The illustrations in Gray's Manual are line drawings that I found quite useful when I was just starting out. |

I read this thread inadvertanly while moving to another newsserver. Irrelevant is a weired word concerning plants, but I already learned here that you tend to be.. erm.. funny. ^^ Everyone else has moved on to other things long ago. This newsgroup isn't *that* big to get lost in threads. If you do, you should get yourself a bigger CRT.. ;) We weren't talking about unusual European Apiaceae, we were talking about Daucus carota growing in New Jersey. You were talking about Apiaceae. In europe are the others also very common, you find them everywhere. In my garden, I see a lot of plants coming from around the world, they got here without my doing. last month I made jam from mahony, which is now growing everywhere. I would not be surprised if the same is over there in the New Colonies. Heracleum mantegazzianum became a plague in central europe now, many other foreign plants too - in my garden it was eg. vigina creeper and, which is a really beast from hell: Oxalis corniculata (http://nafoku.de/flora/oxalidaceae/p...-330x440-d.jpg). This Oxalis spread over all gardens and areas here the last few years and destroys lawns and it is almost impossible to get rid of. If you like to get killed by my ma, just say the words "red oxalis".. ;) Anyone knows what to do against this beast? The worst plantaginetea I ever had. That's odd, you don't come across as "normal folk" at all. I don't feel any special, do I? |
A word of advice:
just put "Cereus-validus " in your killfile and your life will be brighter for it PvR |

Since you don't get Seinfeld out in the back woods of lower Leutonia where
you live in that mud hut of yours, the joke is completely lost on you, Rinkytink. It must be really rough on you being such a superior intellect living in such third world conditions. You should look forward to a peasant uprising some night complete with flaming torches and rowdy mob, Herr Dokterstein!!! "P van Rijckevorsel" wrote in message ...

You better think twice before taking advice from Herr Dokter Rinkytink.

This Oxalis spread over all gardens and areas here the last few years and
destroys lawns and it is almost impossible to get rid of. Interesting. If you mean that little one with yellow flowers (I always forget the species name), it is a pest here too, but we have worse ones in the lawn. Queen Anne's lace isn't really a noxious weed in gardens here. It is very common on roadsides & other waste places.

It spread the last, let's say 10 years across all gardens and places. If you don't fight it, your lawn will be ripped off to pieces. But it also spreads in borders and other places, esp. along roads and places typical for other plants here. The leafs are always quite red and roots are up to 15cm. It is highly competitive against ivy (hedera helix), plantains and dandelion (taraxacum officinalis). I saw the first on in my garden several years ago. It was nice looking and had those tiny little yellow blossoms....... well.. if I knew... *sigh* |
