Contrary to popular belief….  Queen Anne did not wear lace.  Ever.  She couldn’t stand the stuff.  It made her neck itch.    Her husband….  Prince George of Denmark… used to say… “Anne.  Dang it.  You should wear more lace.”  Then he would take a big bite of swill.

But she’d have no part of it.  She was more of a cotton-wearing kind of gal.

I’m not sure why… then…  the plant was named after her.

It is a pretty plant… that Queen Anne’s Lace.  The little weedy-flower-deal…  is also known as Bulwort, and Bishop’s Weed.

Both of these seem wrong too.

I would call it Frost Bloom.  For sure.  Just plain old Frost Bloom.
