The most deadliest plant in the UK. Hemlock Water Dropwort.
Just a small amount of any part of this plant can KILL you.
It looks lovely, a bit like wild parsley or wild parsnip and smells good too. Do not be tempted!
I was shocked today to find it growing so close to hogweed, alexanders and elderflower, all which look somewhat similar to this deadly plant.
Check out the photos to learn the difference:
1) Hemlock water dropwort (HWD) white unbellifer flower
2) found only next to rivers/streams
3) parsley type leaves
4) looks pretty and tempting
5) Hogweed in the foreground (HWD in the background)
6) hairy hogweed stem (HWD have green smooth stems)
7) hogweed leaves are large and not parsley like
8) Alexanders - have yellow umbellifer flowers
9) Elderflower tree in foreground, HWD in background. Completely different leaves.

Pineappleweed.
A wonderful herb which can be used in the same manner as chamomile.
The relaxing and soothing properties of this herb makes it an excellent calming remedy for the stressed.
It is also great for upset stomachs and indigestion.
The second photo shows Pineappleweed and Yarrow flowers ready to dry, for use over the next few months.
