The umbels which reach about ten centimeters, are characterized by a central flower bud of reddish hue.
The red flower in the center of young Queen Anne's lace is said to be a drop of the Queen's blood when she punctured herself with a lace making needle.

Dentelle de la reine Anne, ainsi appelée parce qu'un petit fleuron violacé au centre est la reine. Les ombelles qui atteignent une petite dizaine de centimètres, se caractérisent par un bouton floral central de teinte rougeâtre. La fleur rouge au centre de la dentelle de la jeune reine Anne serait une goutte de sang de la reine lorsqu'elle s'est perforée avec une aiguille à dentelle.
