Cow Parsnip	Heracleum lanatum
	Being pollinated by flies in late May --- is that why takes so long to flower?

March 23^rd it is just sprouting out of over wintering roots

Lots of energy goes into raising up the plant body every year – just to become a hollow stem by autumn

	Full growth by early July

	Making Seeds – note small insect at V

Seeds beginning to mature – ones on right attractive but may be diseased and will never produce viable seeds
