Hello friends! Check out my video on my FAVOURITE way to identify herbs in the wild: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5eHea-iysrPnI0.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...

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 like the purple splotches on the stem it will remind me of ‘an allergic reaction’. Nice video thankyou.

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

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!

They both have similar “carrot ter istics!”🥕 Well made, informative video. Thank you.

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 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.

From philippines here. I love that flower, it looks very magical

Thank you for this! I've been treating the queens anne's lace like toxic waste now I know it's safe.

Very informative! When we were kids roaming in the summer we stayed away from Queen Anne's lace due to chiggers

Thanks for the video! I've only seen Queen Anne's Lace, so nice to see what Poison Hemlock looks like.

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!!

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

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.

Thank you! You cleared it up very well!

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

Perfect information. Looks like I was playing Russian roulette picking Queen Anne’s Lace! Thank you for this information Correne ❤️

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!

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

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.

Did you say similar "carrot-eristics?"

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 🌅.

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

Thank You for the important lesson.

Thank you! Very helpful and I appreciate your effort

Regarding the fuzziness of Queen Anne's Lace... "The Queen has hairy legs" 😂 is how I remember hearing it. Easy for me to remember.

Thank you so much! I was needing to figure out what was growing in my yard.

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 .

What a wonderful channel! I had to subscribe. I also love the folk stories!

And wild parsnip is similar to both of these. Good video. Hemlock was the one I was working on this week.

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

Thanks for that ! Glad i found you homestead channel !

Yarrow and Elderberry have similar flowers..I've been seeing a great increase in poisonous Hemlock in Nebraska. It turns Brown in July here..

This is awesome! I’ve always been told to remember that the queen has hair! lol

Thanks for sharing!

Nice and clear - no confusion. Thanks

That’s amazing. Thank you for the info. That will come in very handy where I live

Very clear and easy to understand and remember the info! I'm curious, though, you mentioned harvesting QAL; what do you do with it?

Nice job on your video. I will enjoy watching future ones. Thanks for the information and for being so clear.

Good to know, thank you.

Great video! Thanks! Found some poison hemlock in my garden! Got it out ASAP!

Queen Anne more than likely actually did have purplish blood.

They were in the park of Sacramento California with purple stem

Great information! Thank you 🙏🏻 definitely deserves a sub!

Thanks for that. I always wondered which was which. Really helpful.

Hemlock seems to flower earlier than Queen Anne's Lace as well.

Really good segment 👍👌

This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Ive been trying to find something very specific regarding the differences.

Thank you for that information. Until recently i had never heard of the poison Hemlock Or the Queens Ann's.

Excellent video!! I've handled both of them not knowing what either one was.

Great video. Thanks👍

Thank you!! Oh my goodness I almost got these mixed

Thank you for clearing this up😻

Great video, thank you. You laid it out so clearly!

Thanks for doing this. I love QAL and the other is along roadsides.

Thank you so very much! I was wondering how to tell the difference!

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.

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

Thank you. Excellent video

I was hoping to hear that Queen Ann is completely harmless..and hemlock is..deadly if even looked at...guess I'll keep searching for information...this is the basic difference in identification.😊

Thank you. 👋

Nicely done vid

Very useful video! Thank you!

Thank you. I thought that I had the lace but, it's the hemlock. I'm color blind so I can't trust any of them. Be very careful about ticks. My wife and 7 others in our area died from tick bites in 2017. The state keeps the numbers secret. The other problem is that little kids get a tick disease and they suffer permanent damage before it is caught and treated. I spray my yard in April with Cutter. It protects into July. I can't spray again, because of the humming birds and bees. The population seems to be way down in my yard. Good Luck, Rick

Excellent presentation. Thanks.

Thank you for clarifying! 🌷

Thanks for the video. Shared.

Thank you. Clear information.

Thank you!!! I have been harvesting some lately thinking it was only QALace!!!

Great video!!

thanks so much, really useful

Thank you 😊

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 think Queen Anne's lace is so beautiful!

Wow, great vid. Thank you!!

Very EXPLANATORY! GREAT!

IT'S a shame it wasn't a blue Center it would have matched the saying Blue Bloods!

I had a poison hemlock plant in my front yard, I let it grow and had no idea what it was until a few days ago I got rid of it

Thank you for sharing 🌸🌿

Great video! Thank you!!

Thanks for the great info!👍

Most Excellent .. Thank you 🙏

And for friends who want to know the differences between Queen Anne's lace, poison hemlock AND wild carrot: Wild carrots' flowers tend to be flat like Queen Anne's lace and they also have a hairy stem! Key difference between all three is that wild carrots have a little stem tutu underneath their umbrella shaped flowers. Hope this helps as well!

Thank you, been wondering how to identify them.

How about the growth height, my poison hem Grows about 10 feet high, but any queen anns lace only 1 to 2 ft high or less, great identifier, dont you think, funny how you left that valuable tidbit out. Heres a thought if its taller then your waist, leave it alone, easy peasy.😶

LEAVING ALL THOSE CUTE WHITE WILD FLOWERS ALONE... RULE NUMBER ONE... LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH... TAKE A PICTURE WITH THE CUTE WHITE WILD FLOWERS BUT DON'T TOUCH. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... BUT I'M GOOD!🙏🏽🧘🏽🙏🏽 P.S. I PULLED THOSE CUTE WHITE WILD FLOWERS IN THE PAST CUZ THEY RESEMBLED BABY TEARS' IN A WILD WAY. DON'T REMEMBER WHICH VERSION I PULLED, WAS IT QUEEN OR HEMLOCK HMMmmmm. WELL I'M STILL HERE. signed donnalynn ramey🙏🏽➕🙏🏽

Love your videos

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

Even though I know what I found was wild carrot I'm still scared to harvest it

EXCELLENT!!! THANK YOU

THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION

Thank you.

Do you think that the poison hemlock resembles a little to cilantro leaves ??

Thank you!

Thank you 🌻🐝🌷🍄

Well done.

Poison hemlock looks like it would hurt you with the blotchy purple stem, that alone looks like a threat.
