I recently moved here and don\'t know most of what\'s been planted. I was weeding the irises when I pulled a tall plant that has a root that looks like a cultivated carrot. Dark magenta on the outside and bright orange interior. Tall stalk with soft hairs all along and leaves like Queen Anne\'s Lace second year plants. Flower head at the top of the stalk preparing to bloom but not there yet
Is this an edible variety of carrot? Just a carrot-like weed? What is it?
