This is why we try to use Latin names -- and I admit I was remiss in not doing so in this thread. :nono:Your information is accurate and helpful, myrkari, but the Queen Anne's Lace we were referring to is Daucus carota and is genetically the same as garden carrots, just not selected for type. It is also called Wild Carrot, which is probably a better name for it.It appears on some poisonous lists for rabbits because the seeds have powerful medicinal effects (it is an effective contraceptive) and this isn't what we want for the rabbits. The entire plant except the seeds is edible for rabbits.This site gives some good pointers for identification. The entire plant smells carroty when bruised . . . If it doesn't, then it is not Daucus carota.http://www.ediblewildfood.com/queen-annes-lace.aspxOur SAFE PLANTS FOR RABBITS sticky gives the Latin names as well as the common names for many of the most common plants we feed to our rabbits.safe-plants-for-rabbits-list-t55.html
