The anticipation of an imminent Umbel sets the scene for delight
as Carrots, step out on show
and Parsley, aims for the stars
whilst Parsnip worships the sun.

You must have a great deal of patience Belinda. No carrot or parsnip ever went to seed at my house, they hardly ever get past finger size because I have no patience.
What's Umbel?
Pretty! What is an Umbel?? Will have to look that up!!
Oh,
um·bel (um′bəl)
noun
a cluster of flowers with stalks of nearly equal length which spring from about the same point, like the ribs of an umbrella
Origin: L umbella, parasol: see umbrella
adjective
designating a family (Apiaceae, order Apiales) of hollow-stemmed, herbaceous, dicotyledonous plants having umbels, including celery and parsley
noun
A flat-topped or rounded flower cluster in which the individual flower stalks arise from about the same point, as in the geranium, milkweed, onion, and chive.
Origin: New Latin umbella, from Latin, parasol, diminutive of umbra, shadow
Hi Greenfumb,
Let's call it forward planning rather than patience. Anything in my garden that self seeds is something I don't have to worry about, and well I sorta like my growing that way when I have a chance :-)
Hi Dixiebelle,
Yep, you got it. For me they are definitely the most showy vegetable flower type.
Kind Regards
Belinda
