Flower jellies are a little magical. I'm convinced that if you eat enough, you'll get magical powers. Or at least a little box of fairy dust. I could totally use some fairy dust. I'd use it to get rid of all the spiders that hang out in the studio. Not that I mind them, there are just so many. It's annoying. I probably shouldn't talk about spiders. Sorry. Where was I .... fairy dust. I'd also use it to magically file the huge pile of papers that accumulates next to my desk and which the cat periodically knocks onto the floor out of sport. Or spite. She gets that look in her eye. And I'd totally use it to do the dishes. A couple of times a day at least because we don't have a dishwasher, or room to put one. Maybe I ought to just fairy dust some space for a dishwasher and let Eric take care of the dishwasher itself. Yeah, that'd work. Anyway. The first thing you need to know about Queen Anne's Lace is its Latin name: Daucus carota. Carota as in carrot. This plant is where we get our modern day carrots from. Cool, huh. It's wild around here and will positively take over everything if we let it. Queen Anne's Lace is 2-3 feet high and has a hairy or rough stem. The stem is sort of wiry, not hollow. There is often a tiny dark purple floret in the center of the larger flower. This is important! Make sure you know that what you are picking really is Queen Anne's Lace and not something that will poison you. Queen Anne's Lace is very very safe, but Water Hemlock is deadly. They are similar, not identical so make sure you're confident that what you've got is really Queen Anne's Lace. Once you're sure then pick a quart jar full of flowers. Pack them in. Pack them in again. The more flowers, the more flavor. I did not wash them first. The water will be strained and boiled later. Fill the jar full of hot water and let it sit overnight. Strain the water through a couple of layers of cheesecloth into a pot. You'll have about 2.5 - 3 cups of water. It'll probably be a little pinkish. Pinkish is good. Add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir in 3 Tablespoons Dutch Jell All Natural Lite Pectin. Bring to a hard boil. Boil hard for one minute. Add 1 cup sugar OR 1/2 cup honey. Bring to a hard boil. Boil hard for one minute. Ladle into jars and process for canning. 10 minutes for jellies. Notes: I made this with sugar and again with honey instead. The pinker jelly was made with white sugar. The jelly with honey is the more orange-y jelly on the right. The honey gives it a nice, more complex flavor. The jelly made with sugar has a flavor that reminded us of apples. Very good! It will be easy to eat enough of this flower jelly to get my box full of fairy dust. Here's the short version. Queen Anne's Lace Jelly 1 quart Queen Anne's Lace flowers, packed in the jar water to fill the jar the rest of the way with 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 3 T Dutch Jell All Natural Lite Pectin 1 cup sugar OR 1/2 cup honey Fill a quart jar full of flowers. Pack them in. Fill the jar with hot water and let sit overnight. Strain the water through a couple of layers of cheesecloth into a pot. Add lemon juice. Stir in pectin. Bring to a hard boil. Boil hard for one minute. Add sugar OR honey. Bring to a hard boil. Boil hard for one minute. Ladle into jars and process for canning. 10 minutes for jellies.
This cake is very good! My whole family gets together for dinner at our parent's house every Sunday and I always bring a dessert. This is my sister and brother-in-law's favorite! I got the recipe out of a cookbook I bought on QVC. "Best of the Best from QVC Cookbook". This recipe was submitted by Vivian C. Ferguson. The recipe calls for the chocolate to be shaved , but that's too much work for me. I just grind up the chocolate in my food processor.

Queen Anne's Lace Daucus carota Queen Anne's Lace, also called "Wild Carrot," is a common plant in dry fields, ditches, and open areas. It was introduced from Europe, and the carrots that we eat today were once cultivated from this plant. Queen Anne's Lace grows up to four feet tall. Its leaves are two to eight inches long and fern-like. This plant is best known for its flowers, which are tiny and white, blooming in lacy, flat-topped clusters. Each little flower has a dark, purplish center. The fruits of Queen Anne's Lace are spiky, and they curl inward to build a "birds' nest" shape. This plant blooms from May to October. It is a biennial plant, which means it lives for two years. It will spend the first year growing bigger, and then bloom the second year. Since Queen Anne's Lace was introduced to this country, many people consider it an invasive weed. It will sometimes crowd and compete with native plants. Some animals have benefited from the arrival of this wildflower. Caterpillars of the Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly eat the leaves, bees and other insects drink the nectar, and predatory insects, such as the Green Lacewing, come to Queen Anne's Lace to attack prey, such as aphids. People can eat the large taproot, which of course, is a carrot. The leaves of the plant, though, are toxic, and may irritate the skin. Relationship to Humans: As mentioned above, the taproots of Queen Anne's Lace are carrots, and are edible. Be cautious when handling this plant, though. Skin irritation is common. Also, there is a similar-looking plant, called Water Hemlock, which is deadly to eat. People have died eating what they thought was Queen Anne's Lace. Do not attempt to eat Queen Anne's Lace unless you have a positive identification from an expert! Many people plant Queen Anne's Lace in their gardens to attract insect predators, such as Green Lacewings and ant lions. Queen Anne's Lace will first attract aphids and other small pests, which will in turn attract the predators. Once the predators have arrived, they will continue to eat pests throughout the garden. A medicinal infusion is used in the treatment of various complaints including digestive disorders, (soothes the digestive tract), kidney and bladder diseases and in the treatment of dropsy, it supports the liver, stimulates the flow of urine and the removal of waste by the kidneys. A wonderfully cleansing medicinal herb, an infusion of the leaves has been used to counter cystitis and kidney stone formation, and to diminish stones that have already formed. The seeds can be used as a settling carminative agent for the relief of flatulence and colic. Wild Carrot leaves contain significant amounts of porphyrins, which stimulate the pituitary gland and lead to the release of increased levels of sex hormones, and stimulates the uterus. The plant is also used to encourage delayed menstruation, can induce uterine contractions and so should not be used by pregnant women. The seed is a traditional 'morning after' contraceptive and there is some evidence to uphold this belief. An essential oil obtained from the seed has also been used cosmetically in anti-wrinkle creams. A strong decoction of the seeds and root make a very good insecticide. Folklore The name 'Carrot' is Celtic, and means 'red of color,' and Daucus from the Greek dais to burn, signifying its pungent and stimulating qualities. An Old English superstition is that the small purple flower in the center of the Wild Carrot was of benefit in curing epilepsy.

WILDER SIDE OF OAKLAND COUNTY They are wild and free. They choose where to grow. They need no care from us, just a bit of respect to survive. Some are native species, others invasive or naturalized…
Queen Anne’s Lace is a lovely, delicate wildflower, which goes by many names with many different peoples, texts, and regions. She brings up her lacy flowers in late summer, and when people work with her medicine they’re usually trying to avoid having babies.
Today was so beautiful! A front came through and dried up the humidity of the weekend and blew a steady breeze through the trees all day. The sky was deep, clear blue. Around midday I headed through the woods to the top of the hill, where Old Thompson Road meets the pipeline. This spot almost always has more than just a regular breeze, probably because the open field that stretches from east to west is like a highway for the wind. Sure enough, a cool, stead wind blew across this pine-shaded spot. I spread a beach towel out and settled down to draw. Daisy and Duke stretched out for a nap nearby. It was heavenly. It's hard to believe the end of the week highs are supposed to be near 105 degrees. I hope they are wrong. In another corner of Middlewood, we've had hungry visitors return to my flower garden after a 20 year absence. When we first moved out here we lost some day lilies for two summers, then it stopped. Perhaps our other dogs did a better job of keeping wildlife away than our present combination of Daisy and Duke. From the look of my garden, I'd say it's a whole family of white-tailed deer nibbling in the night. The only deer I've seen in person, during the day, is tiny and delicate. I call her Bambi, and I no longer care about the flowers. There are enough blooms left for us to enjoy, and the tiny fawn can have her greens. I hope to get a photo of her soon. Stay tuned... The phlox Bambi forgot to eat. The hydrangea Bambi couldn't reach.

Tout en écoutant le premier concert du festival Classique au Vert qui a débuté hier au Parc floral de Paris, j'ai profité des floraisons nombreuses dans la vallée aux fleurs où j'ai fait le plein de photos en utilisant à la fois mon apn et mon iPhone. L'été est déjà bien avancé, mais la plupart des fleurs d'été n'en sont qu'au tout début de leur floraison et certaines ont encore besoin de beaucoup pousser, notamment les dahlias vraiment très en retard. Mais la météo maussade de juillet n'a visiblement pas ralenti les belles touffes d'Ammi visnaga qui font le bonheur des papillons et de nombreux autres insectes.
