We may be onto something. Queen Anne's Lace (Ammi majus) is native to Egypt and the Mediterranean. It is a member of the carrot family Apiaceae.

I don’t know how many plants are still growing but the seeds are going to be very popular. Sounds like a money maker.

Thanks - sounds like a very ‘cool’, interesting plant. The more I delve into medicinal herbs/plants, the more impressed I am & convinced this is what was given to us by our Creator for healing.

Silphium is an ingredient in Parthian Chicken. I would love to have some to cook with. asafoetida is a substitute along with celery greens and lovage.

Imagine{ If turned into a pill it could turn Liberals into Conservatives! One pill and they might come to their senses and put on the red MAGA Cap? Sneak some into the CNN offices and get a building full of Tucker Carlson’s.

Where there’s one, there’s more than one.

And hopefully someone with some integrity will be in charge of propagating it.

Very interesting looking plant.
