AND THIS PICTURE IS?

Yup, it is a close up view of a flowering plant. The question is which one?

It is a wildflower seen in abundance around my open fields and trails this time of year. In fact, it can be found in temperate areas around the world.

The picture is a close-up—really close-up—view of its blossom. The blossom is fairly flat and usually about three or four inches in diameter.

It, itself, is made up of the even smaller blossoms visible in the picture—seemingly supported by wagon-wheel shaped stems.

A common name for the plant is associated with a vegetable to which we often attribute good eyesight.

It’s more formal name smacks of royalty.

Still stuck?

Would you believe Queen Anne’s Lace, sometimes known as wild carrot?
