aah!! Thats the right one

I was basing the flowers of it due to the Umbellifer in the background

hi folks , the flowers did not look like valerian i have seen folks but maybe they are at a young stage of development. I have seen valerian in flower but did not relate it as one, but then im a novice

From the arrangement of the flowers it does look like it should be an umbellifer but the valerians are in a separate family of their own - don't ask me why!
