As a change of pace from snow, snow and more snow- as beautiful as it is!- I'm digging into my files among the many things I shot during the growing season and never edited or posted! Here we are revisiting July 2024. This is a subtle cool plant- we don't have that many native plants in the Apiaceae/Umbellifer/Celery/Carrot Family, and this is not a locally abundant plant, so I'm happy to see it! I had thought it might have been lost in this spot by the edge of the driveway and near the road- there was some work done on the road a few years ago. But somehow I had not realised this is a biennial species (or monocarpic?) so that means with only a few plants in the population/patch, in any given year there might only be small non-flowering plants easily overlooked among the other vegetation. This is a plant that historically has had some medicinal uses: I haven't tried any of those, and as it is not that common here, I probably wouldn't.
