This lace-like wild flower is everywhere in Maine -- on the side of the interstate highways, on the edge of the parking lots, surrounding abandoned buildings and anywhere that has not been mowed.Does anyone know what this is?
Update: The wild flower is called Queen Anne's Lace, wild carrot, bird's nest or bishop's lace.

I love the flower, Ming. It's everywhere here too and so pretty. I 'think' it's called Queen Anne's Lace but maybe someone else knows for sure.
If you Google Queen Anne's Lace you'll see what I mean.
j'aime bien cette façon de photographier cette fleur. On dirait un napperon de dentelle
I like this way to photograph this flower. It looks like a lace doily
This is one of the few I know: here it is called carota selvatica (wild carrot).
Great geometric shot.
I believe it is Queen Anne's Lace also.
Hi Ming! How are you enjoying life in Bangor?
Blogtrotter is back to the «urban jungle», which Reykjavik is far from being... ;)). Enjoy and have a fabulous week!
I have no idea and I've never seen one like it. But I love it!
They are all over here (N. Mich.) as well. They are pretty.
Laceweed! It is a European weed, also called "wild carrot". Grows very fast and is hard to control. Wipes out the native wildflowers.

Hey, it's a nice photo though.
Not sure what it is but its very pretty!
We used to have Queen Anne's lace everywhere when I was growing up. I used to pick bunches of it. Such a pretty photo!
Yes, Queen Anne's Lace - at least that is the name I know it by! It is beautiful...and it lasts a while if you cut some and put it in a vase...
This IS beautiful. It DOES look like lace.

Yes, I knew it as "wild carrot", "carotte sauvage" in french, also known as "Daucus carota" if you are a botanist :o)
Very beautiful photo !
Growing up in ME we called it "Queen Ann's Lace" and it was everywhere. Lovely to look at, just exquisite photo Ming.
