    Question not cowparsley but something very similar

    I know its not cow parsley and i dont think its hemlock or giant hogweed but its from that family of plant (3000 of em) but what is it lol The flowers appeared very mauve or maybe pink ... certainly not white and the leaves are much "lacier" than cow parsley


    If its profound what was the name of the golfer and what did he find?

    think it may be a knotted hedge parsley or upright hedge parsley .... both are very similar

    Default Valerian

    Hi, Count,

    What you have there is Common Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) which like damp places such as a marshy area. By the way, your other leaf is Hogweed; Cow Parsley has a very finely divided leaf.

    These Umbellifers are quite confusing, aren't they!
