Wayside Flower

by coker

Taken home to photograph this morning.

Any help with identifying it would be most welcome.
All I will say is that it smells of cows.........

"Upstem" POV works really well with this flower. Attention-getter. Like.

From the thumbnail it looks like a snowflake, i've googled it and i think it's Queen Anne's Lace Wildflower, very pretty image.

Looks to me rather like cow parsley. Certainly no expert!

It is definitely not Queen Anne's lace, that I know.

I can never tell these apart. We always called the stuff by a generic "country" name .... Keck, but I think the one you have here is ordinary (not Giant) Hogweed.
Great photographic treatment!

White with black... Nicely done.

thanks for your thoughts, all.

I agree (now) with waypoint Charlie, it's a cow parsley.
Apparently the ridges on the stem clinches it.
It just so happens this one is flowering out of season.
Usually blooms sting / early summer!

Thanks again,

Roger.
