Re: interesting wildflower by the side of the road


Hi Cheryl,

Cow Parsnip and Water Hemlock are blooming there now.  Heracleum lanatum
and Cicuta maculata.  Of the two, I think the Cow Parsnip would be most
likely to attract your attention.  See both:
Cow Parsnip: (nearly five feet tall)

Water Hemlock: (three and a half feet tall)

Hope that helps.
