The green lanes which bisect the Chase are currently bordered by thick swathes of Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris). A beautiful sight. On the whole I'm cautious when it comes to umbellifers, so many and so easily confused, many of which are poisonous, the most notable and most dangerous example being Hemlock (Conium maculatum), the poison given to Socrates. I do love the flowers of Cow Parsley though.
