Carrot flowers

I always let some vegetable plants go to flower/seed. Not only are they pretty, they also attract all kinds of insects and bees, and also supply us with next year's seeds.
Isn't this carrot flower pretty?

    I've never ever left carrots to flower. The always get pulled and eaten.
    This year I will! Thanks for the idea.

    Love Leanne

    You are welcome! :)
    They are such lovely plants when allowed to flower. And you'll never run out of carrot seeds again. Have fun! :)

    I have been watching the insects on my carrot flowers. They certainly are a draw-card! I am looking forward to collecting the seed.
