But no, it doesn't look like Queen Anne's Lace. Queen Anne's lace grows in a very flat circle of small white flowers, not this dome shape made of tiny domes. Queen Anne's lace has a dark spot in the center of the disk of flowers. Queen Anne's lace does not have reddish or purplish stems. Queen Anne's lace has an incredibly distinctive smell. Do people not engage their eyeballs and brains at all?
- jrgoff 5y agoIf you don't have a background in plants and just learned about something from reading about it somewhere and decide to give it a try (might not even know there are poisonous plants that look somewhat alike), those sorts of details can be hard to notice and distinguish at first. Even as someone who has a pretty good background with plants at this point, I have occasionally been surprised at initially misidentifying something because the individual plant had an unusual presentation or was in a different growth stage than I was used to and I wasn't being super careful. I did spend some time learning about the poisonous plants in my area though and am extra careful with things that have other poisonous plants that look similar.
