when I was in China, the guide called Queen Annes Lace -- Cloud flowers.
Since we were all learning each others culture, I explained why we called them QAL and when we found a PC we looked up the pix of the queens collar. Also have you looked closely at the flowers to find the tiny dark purple center?? Each tiny flowerette is perfection.
I love their name Cloud flower

I love when the wild turkeys come thru to glean the berries, too. We have a flat sprawling kind of berry that grows all around our yard and the turkeys just love them. They come thru in flocks in the early fall to clean them out. These berries grow like a ground cover and make a solid mat about a foot high in areas where they are not disturbed. They look like small blackberries but are a little tart. We leave lots of areas for the berries to ripen!
