Carrot Flower

Some months ago someone planted a carrot top outside our office back door. Sure 🤔 OK whatever. 🤨 Here it is (yesterday) blooming away 😁. It never occurred to me that carrots flower, but it is a plant after all.

Way fun. I've never grown carrots so this is cool. I've seen garlic and they flower too!

Well, who knew?! Super fun

@elatedpixie apparently the purple carrots have purple flowers to match.
@aikiuser not me 🤪

Until I researched Queen Ann’s Lace I didn’t realize it is a wild carrot flower.

@k9photo just googled that & you’ve got me more excited about this flower carrot now.....just realised all those green buds will open into lots of tiny white flowers

A fun thing for someone to plant a carrot top, and now we can look forward to another shot with all the flowers open.

You have taken me back to my childhood! I had quite forgotten that this was something we used to do when younger!

Goodness, I never knew this. It's an interesting looking flower too

@ethelperry will definitely be doing this Ethel, will check with Ms Carrot first thing Monday morning
@miss_molly I think I’ll be planting a carrot top sometime in my near future, lol.
@kjarn stay tuned for the “Grand Opening” Kathy 😀
