Weed??? - Farendwoman - 21-03-2023

Any ideas??
Just popped up in a pot of dead something.
I wondered about cow parsley but it looks to “fine and fancy” for that

A very blurry closeup of the tiny white flower buds.
Also the stems are red which I didn’t think were normal on cow parsley.

Whoops here it is

Carrot?

RE: Weed??? - Farendwoman - 21-03-2023

Could be a blown in carrot seed.
I don’t grow carrots but I do grow daucus - the more ornamental one with pinky/red flowers.
The buds on this are definitely white though and the foliage is more lime green compared to daucus which has a sort of sherwood green leaf.

I reckon it's cow parsley. Keep it. It may be a weed but it's pretty.

RE: Weed??? - Farendwoman - 21-03-2023

Thanks, Moth.
Likewise I think it’s pretty - even if it is a weed.
I’ll post again when the buds open.

I checked my cow parsley - the stems are purplish, but not as much as yours, but the leaves are identical. It is pretty and smells nice BUT it can be very invasive. I'm trying to cut the flower heads off before they set seed as I have far too much cow parsley in the garden. Its not easy to dig up either. I'm sure its good for flower arrangements.

Could it be Hemlock? that has dainty looking leaves.

I think I have one of those carrots growing, perhaps it came from you in a seed swap. It's in its second year now so hopefully it will flower. It has quite a nice purple carrot underneath.
