Words and Artwork by katherine sandoz
The elegant and complex flower of common wild carrots (Daucus carota) could inspire a lifetime of art and design projects. If you’re a writer, you might employ words such as umbel, bract and tumbleweed in describing the exquisite bloom that turns on itself exacting a nest shape as it goes to seed.
You’d not think a carrot so completely riveting but my impression is that they are the tops!
