Wild Angelica - Angelica sylvestris
Can often be seen growing with Hogweed but differs in having round pink-to brown-tinged flowerheads with a green to purplish stem, a great attractive plant for pollinating insects. We tend to take for granted what pollinating insects do for us yet we have lost so much of our wild flower meadows in the UK and around the world there's the destruction of the rain forests and huge volumes of pesticides and herbicides (including the dreaded Roundup) being used that is taking its toll on the insect world. 75% of the food we eat is on our plates because of what pollinators do, will we ever learn. And for a bit of banter my Victoria Sponge cake could even become extinct in the near future.
