Golden Alexanders

Golden Alexanders, a native wildflower, resembles Wild Parsley an invasive species. That illustrates why I always try to take a picture of the leaves as well as the flowers of an unfamiliar species.

 

The leaves of Wild Parsley are completely different from the elongated leaves of Golden Alexanders. Also, Golden Alexanders tends to be a smaller plant (1-3 feet tall) than Wild Parsley which can grow much taller.
