This umbellifer graces the south Devon lanes, where I live, with its beautiful lime green flowers, leaves and tall stately stems. Emerging in late winter/early spring it quickly grows to around 1.5 meters in height. Mediterranean in origin, “the parsley of Alexandria” is thought to have been introduced to Britain by the Romans as an all purpose food source: all parts of the plant are edible. Diligent searching finally rewarded me with a perfect specimen with beautiful translucent spathes where the stems branched. The monochrome nature of the plant also appealed to me.
