Is this Hogweed Heracleum sphondylium or Cow Parsley Anthriscus sylvestris, please?

It is Hogweed.
Cow Parsley flowers early in the year and is a more delicate plant. |

Yes, Hogweed starts early (March/April) and flowers until the end of summer. Cow Parsley starts about the same time but is usually over by mid-June. |

Yes - though strictly they are fruits, the seeds will be inside. |

Absolutely nothing to do with this - sorry, but didn't want to start a new thread.
I would appreciate anyone looking at some Spanish flowers at Wildlife and Environment Forum - Flowers of northern Spain .... some of them may also be British but I'll only confuse myself and everyone else if I post them here!
Cheers, Paul  | | |
