A pretty scene here with a flowing side drainage and a great big bouquet of Cow Parsnip. I got two really nice pictures/scenes with Cow Parsnip.

The thick flower stems, coming into season in early summer, can be peeled and eaten cooked when young, as was done by Native Americans.

Heracleum maximum, commonly known as cow parsnip, is the only member of the genus Heracleum native to North America. It is also known as American cow-parsnip, Satan celery, Indian celery, Indian rhubarb or pushki.
