I took a couple of pictures of both the flowers and seed heads last year <a href="http://daveingram.ca/2009/08/10/introducing-invasives/" rel="nofollow">of Queen Anne's Lace</a> that might be helpful.<br /><br />Love your Cow Parsnip images - I'm planning on doing a comparison of that plant and Giant Hogweed which is starting to become more common in the Comox Valley.Davehttp://daveingram.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-88385632744010844542010-05-16T23:51:46.982-07:002010-05-16T23:51:46.982-07:00Amie,

Someone else also e-mailed me with the proper data, and I've just corrected the post.<br /><br />I'm glad you agree on the final photo; I just wrote that I thought it looked like Queen Anne's Lace.<br /><br />So difficult these look-alike plants!Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-7755043380428388162010-05-16T22:24:40.967-07:002010-05-16T22:24:40.967-07:00I think your first photos are of Heracleum (hogwee...I <b>think</b> your first photos are of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogweed" rel="nofollow"><i>Heracleum</i></a> (hogweed genus), of which Cow Parsnip is one. You have to be very careful of the hogweed group as they can cause pretty serious phototoxic reactions in some people.<br /><br />Queen Anne's Lace (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daucus_carota" rel="nofollow"><i>Daucus carota</i></a>) is a lot smaller than the Heracleum plants; I'm pretty sure your "basket" picture is from a Queen Anne's Lace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829539943100364349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-87654765060293184442010-05-16T10:14:00.942-07:002010-05-16T10:14:00.942-07:00Lovely post.
