Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota)
Legend has it that Queen Anne (1574-1619), a master of lace-making, was challenged to make a piece as beautiful as a flower.
While making the lace she pricked her finger and a single droplet of blood fell onto her needlework.
The dark purple flower at the centre of this flower is said to represent that droplet of blood.
In the language of flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace symbolises sanctuary.
This piece connects with the fourth chakra - our heart centre. It’s proven that spending time in nature and seeing the colour green heals and opens our hearts.
