carrot family

Apiaceae

Carrots are crunchy, orange vegetables that grow underground. They are super healthy and can help you see better in the dark!

Lebensraum: Gardens

Aussehen

The carrot family is known for its distinctive flat-topped or dome-shaped flower clusters, called umbels, which resemble tiny umbrellas. Flowers are often white or yellow, sometimes pink, with many small petals. Most have green, fern-like leaves.
