Dill flowers look very much like a yellowish Queen Anne's Lace. The dried flowers yield the spicy seeds, and dried foliage yields "dill weed"...the delicious elongated little green bits found in dill-flavored foods. Everyone loves the taste of dill, from "dilly" breads to tasty fish sauces, dips and spreads. Boughs of the attractive, ferny plant were used to ward off witches in the Middle Ages, and to crown Emperors in ancient Rome. It's historic, but really delicious, too.
