Masterwort
Astrantia maxima
Parsley Family - Apiaceae

A beautiful and unusual flower that also comes in a variety of color, Astrantia grows to be about 1 to 2 feet tall. The flower is a group of tightly packed florets that are backed by petal-like bracts. This makes the flower look very much like a star or a firework. The leaves look a little bit like Italian parsley or carrots which is not surprising as Astrantia are in the same family as carrots.
