That too can burn you very severely. Especially in bright sunlight. It has long stiff stalks up to 4m and white umbelliferous flowers very like your Wild Parsnip. In fact I wonder if it is what Mike mentions in his local church yard. Trouble is, the stalks make ideal weapons for playing children and consequently can cause a lot of damage if the day is hot and sunny and the children aren't wearing much.Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232154028235485600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-7039475325122239662015-07-28T08:09:12.959-04:002015-07-28T08:09:12.959-04:00Never heard of it and will avoid it at all costs. ...Never heard of it and will avoid it at all costs.
