Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota)
This was my choice as a child for my wand in the summer and also in the autumn when the flower umbels dry so beautifully. This flower has always been a Queen Anne's Lace for me but it is also known as Wild Carrot. It is in the Apiaceae family or Carrot/Parsley family. The roots are edible like the cultivated carrot, but make sure you are 100% sure you have identified this plant as Daucus carota because it looks similar to the deadly Poison Hemlock.
