I double-checked my field guides and none of them use QAL for anything but the Wild Carrot. So as far as I know wild carrot and QAL are indeed the same plant, <em>Daucus carota</em>, of the parsley family. A guide to the true identification is, as you point out, the manner in which the older flower heads turn up into a cup-shaped "bird's nest". Thanks for your remark! Hey Rose,

Carrots make beautiful flowers that do not shed and get messy, and the blooms turn inside out when their ready to spit out seed, like some of the ones in the photos.

I contacted General Mills about their Fiber One cereal. I let them know that I didn't care for the amount of sugar in the cereal and that the strong top-coating of granulated sugar wasn't necessary. However, they did verify that chicory root extract provided the high amount of soluble fiber in the cereal. So, if you're looking for a sweet alternative to eating your vegetables, their Fiber One cereal may be just right. As a follow up… I contacted General Mills about their Fiber One cereal.
