I met some very dangerous plants today! Hemlock water dropwort is the most toxic plant in Britain and has often been mistaken for some which are edible. Death occurs in 70% of cases!The very common cow parsley is on the left, and found just a few feet away, shown right, is hemlock water dropwort. It grows in damp places usually along the banks of ditches or streams.
Here is a big picture of the flowerhead.
