Queen Anne’s Lace is said to have been named
after Queen Anne of England, an expert lace maker. English legend tells
us that Queen Anne challenged the ladies of the court to a contest to see
who could produce a pattern of lace as lovely as the flower of this plant.
No one could rival the queen's handiwork. She however, pricked her finger
with a needle and a single drop of blood fell into the lace, that is said
to be the dark purple floret in the center of the flower.
