Thank you so much for watching! I had one person comment that Queen Anne never shaved her legs (hairy stem) and hemlock was clumsy (bruised legs). Loved that and makes it easy to remember!
Thank you for putting this out there. I am a Master's degree biologist with a specialization in botany and a horticultural minor. I have heard so many people who have confused the two and have picked the Hemlock instead of Queen Anne's Lace and experienced the allergic reaction to it. There are many plants and fungi that one is an edible or beneficial and a look alike that is harmful or deadly. It is good that you can put these on the net for your viewers and do so in such a way that it is easily understandable.
I live in San Francisco and poison hemlock grows EVERYWHERE here. It actually freaks me out a bit because I think most people don't know how poisonous it is.
Moving to a part of the country where both of these grow, I always avoided both because I was confused. But thank you for alleviating that confusion. The purple splotches on the stem is an eye opener and a great way to remember. Thank you!
if Hemlock is so poisonous having to get that close to tell the difference. one would be dead. played in the country growing up played with all plants never even got a rash. does hemlock kill if so how ... I'll continue to watch, always like to get to the point
Thank you so much! Picked a bouquet of Queen's Anne Lace off the roads in Salem OR. Then thought to learn more about it. Definitely Queen's Anne Lace! Will be on guard for both in the future.
I am hoping to get a video filmed on the medicinal properties of Queen Anne's this week! People seem quite interested in this, so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks. ♥
Woof!! SO “Thank You” for this post!! I never knew there was such a close association between these two plants…but I’m just a hack gardener and know NOTHING…..LOL!!
It truly is a piece of magic. Speaking of magical, so is the Philippines. I had the pleasure of visiting there many years ago. I wish I had been studying herbs then, I would have paid more attention to the local plant life!
This is a perfect video. The first one I bent down to check out had a purple flower in the idle, fuzzy stem and the three-pronged brackets underneath the flower. Found it! I found queen Ann's Lace! Yay! So much fun. Thanks.
Yes!! So glad that you were able to identify Daucus. I know Poison Hemlock has exploded here in Ontario so people need to know how to identify this plant. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. As a child I picked the queen Ann’s lace to put in a vase. Only very recently I learned that the flower of poison hemlock looked the same. Glad you straightened that out for me. I just walked by some queen Ann’s lace this week and smiled.
Thanks very much ! You have helped identify the queen anne's lace .that grows in our ditch .my wife was out showing our granddaughter ditch flowers this morning 🌅.
I am so glad I could help! I was able to teach my students this weekend about the Queen too. With so many white flowers in bloom right now, I think it's a good idea to know the basics in your area ♥
Thank you so much. Turns out I have hemlock growing all over my back yard as well as dogs that like to eat plants so i’m going to tear them all up now. Thanks! You may have saved their lives
Wow you did a beautiful job explaining . I need a video on poison ivy , poison oak and other vines that look close . I have watched several videos but I still somehow get into it outside and I am severely allergic .
Yes they are tricky because even poison ivy can vary in appearance as well. Next year when we go camping I will do a video on poison ivy because the site we go too is crawling with it!!
@@SpiraeaHerbs I was watching Full Spectrum Survival and he was talking about this as a problem in the US, so I decided to investigate and came across your channel, it was just what I was looking for, Thanks again.
@@frankjustis Yes I have heard that there is quite an explosion in the poison hemlock population down there. I tried to find some in my regular harvesting locations (I'm in Ontario) but no luck which is why I had to resort to pictures. Glad this knowledge helped you!
You get Poison Hemlock and QAL in the UK too, Hemlock is everywhere, I'm not too sure but I can only remember QAL by water sources that get lots of sun like drainage ditches.
As kids, we called QAL wild carrots, & used to munch on the flowers. Sooo glad I didn't pick & eat poison hemlock! We looked for the little, purple flower!
They don't always have the purple flower which can be confusing for people. The hairy stem of QAL is a dead giveaway too. So glad you picked the right plants too!!
There is a novel by Susan Wittig Albert called “Queen Anne’s Lace” which includes some interesting uses of QAL from days gone by as well as using the confusion ofQAL and poison hemlock as part of her plot development.
Queen Anne’s Lace makes an exceptionally beautiful pressed flower, last will last for years in art work. I make bookmarks & larger “pictures” with my grandchild, to give for gifts. They LOVE this!
Give thanks for your clear information, I am looking for original foods with high value, carrots have IODINE i use to heal fresh cuts and old sores , thanks from Jamaica
Very good. Much appreciated. My area is being overrun by a host of undesirable invasive plants. This mean war. (and the perfect excuse to buy new ,cool tools to battle them. Hand to plant combat. Not a fan of poisons if I can avoid them. It’s a nice world. I’d like to keep it that way.) Thanks. 🕊✋😁👍🕊
I am glad I could help. It is exploding in population up here as well. I am not an expert in eradicating it, but you may literally need fire. And be careful and wear full protective clothing, face shield and such!
@@gailland5308 It's so worthy to learn! I have a Herbal Kids Curriculum that people are loving for that reason. Even though it is designed for kids, I am getting lots of feedback about how parents are learning a lot too!
this was great! can you do one for giant hogweed too? that's been found in the southern part of virginia a few years ago so i know it's going to start showing up here soon!
Hello friends! Check out my video on my FAVOURITE way to identify herbs in the wild: th-cam.com/video/M1WFLqedklY/w-d-xo.html
"Queen Anne has hairy legs"
Is what I tell my kids...
"Hemlock beats her legs"- "look for the bruises"
I tried to make it easy for them to remember...
That's great
Omgoodness.. i know ill remember this. 🤣
Oh, gosh, not only memorable, but adds some fun and drama to the topic. Love it 🤩!
“Hmm how did the saying go again? O yeah Queen Anne beats her legs”
May I use that with my grandchildren? That is fabulous!
I like the purple splotches on the stem it will remind me of ‘an allergic reaction’. Nice video thankyou.

How harmful is this? I used to pick Queen Anne’s all the time, now I’m petrified. I never even knew this other one existed.
@@stopthelies3973 don’t allow yourself to be petrified. Get educated and share the learning with others …..
Isn't poison hemlock incredibly lethal?
Queen Anne bit plenty, but Hemlock only got a quickly, but it’s something that should be common knowledge for all people Globally.
So glad I could help!! Herbal knowledge for the win.
Really nice job....I have taken taxonomy of flowering plants and that is one of the better identifying videos I have seen in a while. Again, nice job
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for watching 💙🙏
I agree, very clear and accurate. Made my notes and going hunting.
I live in San Francisco and poison hemlock grows EVERYWHERE here. It actually freaks me out a bit because I think most people don't know how poisonous it is.
just dont eat it wash your hands if you handle it
I bet they DONT KNOW.

Yes and QAL will have a very hairy stem. Quite different! So glad you found this helpful and thank you for watching ♥
They both have similar “carrot ter istics!”🥕 Well made, informative video. Thank you.
Best pun I have heard all day!! Thanks for watching ♥
A suitable “pun”ishment!!
if Hemlock is so poisonous having to get that close to tell the difference. one would be dead. played in the country growing up played with all plants never even got a rash. does hemlock kill if so how ... I'll continue to watch, always like to get to the point
what does hemlock do to a person? did u know a nose ring makes it look like a booger is hanging?
I was taught this by my uncle when I moved up to Washington from Texas. He showed me the differences and the stems were the key indicator.
Such valuable information passed down from you uncle!

From philippines here. I love that flower, it looks very magical
It truly is a piece of magic. Speaking of magical, so is the Philippines. I had the pleasure of visiting there many years ago. I wish I had been studying herbs then, I would have paid more attention to the local plant life!
Very informative! When we were kids roaming in the summer we stayed away from Queen Anne's lace due to chiggers
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks so much for watching! 💙🙏
We do like your delivery of this type/kind of info. We need this. Thanks for placeing it on our door step.. Please continue this ... L, AlMart
Thanks for the video! I've only seen Queen Anne's Lace, so nice to see what Poison Hemlock looks like.
I've only seen it in person once, but I can see how someone could mistake them!
Nice job on your video. I will enjoy watching future ones. Thanks for the information and for being so clear.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Welcome to the channel 💙🥰

Thank you for sharing this information! Hemlock seems to be taking over here in Wisconsin.

Thank you for watching! 💙🙏
Thank you. Excellent video
Thank you so very much!
I was wondering how to tell the difference!
This is awesome! I’ve always been told to remember that the queen has hair! lol
Never shaved her legs baby!! Lol. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the video. Shared.

Thank you for this video..Children must know this information now. GOD'S JOY.

Thank you 💙🙏
Good to know, thank you.

Thank you It’s very good to know this thank you very much for your video

And wild parsnip is similar to both of these. Good video. Hemlock was the one I was working on this week.
Thank you so much for checking out my video. I truly appreciate it.
Love your videos
Thank you for watching! It is greatly appreciated.
Very EXPLANATORY! GREAT!
EXCELLENT!!! THANK YOU
So glad I could be of help!
Regarding the fuzziness of Queen Anne's Lace... "The Queen has hairy legs" 😂 is how I remember hearing it. Easy for me to remember.
Queen Anne never shaved her legs! Ha ha
Very clear and easy to understand and remember the info! I'm curious, though, you mentioned harvesting QAL; what do you do with it?
I tend to make tinctures with most herbs because of their long shelf life. If I have time I will record a video on the medicinal properties on QAL :)
There is a novel by Susan Wittig Albert called “Queen Anne’s Lace” which includes some interesting uses of QAL from days gone by as well as using the confusion ofQAL and poison hemlock as part of her plot development.

Yarrow and Elderberry have similar flowers..I've been seeing a great increase in poisonous Hemlock in Nebraska. It turns Brown in July here..
Yes true but thankfully the leaves and overall structure of both Yarrow and Elder are completely different making it much easier to distinguish them!
@@SpiraeaHerbs completely different!! Agree
Thank you!!! I have been harvesting some lately thinking it was only QALace!!!

TY
Does QAL always have the purple flower?
Well, your video confirmed that I just touched poison hemlock. Thanks for the info.
Oh dear. I hope you recover quickly.
I made Queen Anne's Lace jelly. We had a lot of Poison Hemlock but never knew the name until recently. Glad I didn't make jelly with it
Oh yes that would have been bad! How do you like the Queen Anne's jelly? I've never used it as a wild edible before.
@@SpiraeaHerbs I'd like to know, I make Sunshine Jelly from Dandelions.
Interesting
I am learning about wild plants and weeds. I think it's a valuable knowledge. Medicinal plants and edible plants. Someday it may save someone's life
@@gailland5308 It's so worthy to learn! I have a Herbal Kids Curriculum that people are loving for that reason. Even though it is designed for kids, I am getting lots of feedback about how parents are learning a lot too!
Queen Anne more than likely actually did have purplish blood.
How about hogweed they also have similarities is there some ways to tell the difference
this was great! can you do one for giant hogweed too? that's been found in the southern part of virginia a few years ago so i know it's going to start showing up here soon!
If I find some in the wild I will definitely do so!
Look at b.c. Canada website lot’s of hog weed here. Blistered since grade 1when we started walking the creek 😁
