Wild carrot

When we went on the mission, it was October meaning it was very cold. So cold, in fact, we could see our breath. Though it was really cold, the sun was shining brightly. Most of the plants were dormant, meaning they were brown, crunchy and their leaves had fallen off. This made it harder to identify things because most of the photos and information on the ID card were ones of the plant in the spring or summer, and there was a lot of information about the leaves. Leaf info was useless because all the leaves were dead and had fallen off. There was however, a photo of what Queen Anne’s Lace looked like in the fall, so that’s what we went by. In the area we were in, there was Queen Anne’s Lace everywhere. We randomly placed our meter stick box, and inside it was lots Queen Anne’s Lace. Though we did expect to find it, because it is common in Cape Elizabeth, we didn’t expect so much of it.
